Question

Heather walked 24 feet to the south and 32 feet to the east, but then she walked in a straight line back to where she started, as shown by the dotted line. How far did Heather walk in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

96 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem requires the use of pythagorean theorem.

she walks 24 ft south + 32 ft east + $\sqrt{24^2 + 32^2}$ = 56 + $\sqrt{1600} = 56 + 40 = 96$
