Question

Mira starts at point T, walks straight to point U which is 4 ft, away. She turns left, at 90 and walks to W which is 4 ft. away, turns 90 right and goes 3 ft, to P, turns 90 right and walks 1 ft, to Q, turns left at 90 and goes to V, which is 1 ft, away and once again turns 90 right and goes to O, 3 ft, away. What is the distance between T and O?

Answer 1

Answer

8 feet is the distance

Answer 2

Given:

Distance between U and T = $4ft$

Distance between U and W= $4ft$

Distance between W and P= $3ft$

Distance between P and Q= $1ft$

Distance between Q and V= $1ft$

Distance between V and O= $3ft$

To Find:

Distance between O and T.

Solution:

Plot a graph from the given conditions.

From the graph we can comprehend that:

$TU= 4$

$UH=3$

$HO=1$

$TO =TU+UH+HO$

      =$4+3+1$

      = $8ft$

Hence the distance between T and O is 8ft.
