Answer 1

Joshua walked 48 feet in total.

Explanation:

To find the total distance we need to sum every distance that he walked. We have:

- First: Joshua walked down the hall to the door = 14 feet

- Second: He continued in a straight line out the door and across the yard to the mailbox = 24 feet

- Third: He came straight back across the yard and stopped to pet his dog = 10 feet

Hence, the total distance is:

`d_(T) = d_(1) + d_(2) + d_(3) = 14 ft + 24 ft + 10 ft = 48 ft`

Therefore, Joshua walked 48 feet in total.
