Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the cartesian plane to solve this, first I started at the origin then I followed the directions moving 3 units to east or right then 4 units to the south and finally 6 units to the left. The final coordinate was (-3,-4) while the original was (0,0). To find the distance between them, we need to use the distance formula which is d=sqrt[(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2]. Now just substitute the coordinates above.

We get d=sqrt[(0+3)^2+(0+4)^2]

d=sqrt[9+16]

d=sqrt[25]

d=+-5 (but since there is no negative distance in real life,we'll only use the positive result)

distance=5
