Question

Suppose Tommy walks from his home at (0,0) to the mall at (0,6), and then walks to a movie theater at (5, 6). After leaving the theater Tommy walks to the store at (5,0) before retuming home. If each grid square represents one block, how many blocks does he walk?

Answer 1

Tommy walks from his home at (0,0)

i.e Home is at H ( 0,0)

To the mall

Mall is at M (0, 6)

walks to a movie theater at

Theater , T( 5, 6)

Tommy walks to the store at

Store is at S (5,0)

Plot each coorinates on the graph :

each grid of square represent one block :

i.e. number of blcok from H to M = 5

Then number of bocks frm M to T is 6 blocks

Number of blocks fromT to S is 5 blocks

Number of blocks from S to H is 6

So total number if blocks are = 5 + 6 + 5 + 6

Number of blocks Tommy walks = 22 blocks

Answer : 22 blocks
