Question

A woman jogs 10m North, turns and jogs 20m west and turns once more and jogs 15 m south. What is the total distance that the woman jogged? *

Answer 1

The woman jogged a total distance of 45 meters, which is calculated by summing the individual distances covered in each direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance that the woman jogged is the sum of the individual distances she covered in each direction, without taking the direction into account. She jogged 10 meters north, 20 meters west, and 15 meters south. To find the total distance, you simply add these numbers together:

• 10 meters (North)
• + 20 meters (West)
• + 15 meters (South)

This gives us a total distance of:

10m + 20m + 15m = 45 meters

Therefore, the woman jogged a total distance of 45 meters.
