Question

14.4.17-11

A company is testing a robot. The robot is 13 inches tall and weighs 3 pounds. The employees of the company marked a
grid on the floor and set the robot at (2,4). They programmed the robot to walk 2 yards east and 4 yards north each
minute. What will the robot's location be after 7 minutes? Answer problems 7-11.

Answer 1

The robot, starting from the coordinates (2,4), will move to (44,88) after 7 minutes, moving 2 yards east and 4 yards north each minute.

The student's question asks for the location of a robot after it moves 2 yards east and 4 yards north each minute for 7 minutes from the starting point (2,4).

Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we can convert the robot's movements to feet (2 yards = 6 feet east, and 4 yards = 12 feet north).

After one minute, the robot's location would change to (2+6, 4+12).

Within 7 minutes, the robot's location would be at (2+42, 4+84), calculating the sum of the movements for 7 minutes in both directions.

Therefore, the robot will be located at (44, 88) after 7 minutes.
