Answer:

John is 9.21 km form the school.

Explanation:

John leaves school to go home. His bus drives 6 kilometres north and then goes 7 kilometres west. It is required to find John's distance from the school. It is equal to the shortest path covered or its displacement. So,


d=√(6^2+7^2) \\\\d=9.21\ km

So, John is 9.21 km form the school.
