Consider a city whose streets are laid out as a grid. Streets run north-south or east-west. A visitor is dropped off by a cab at
a certain intersection and would like to visit a museum that is 6 blocks to the east and 3 blocks to the north of his current location. The visitor always takes a direct path and never travels west or south in the course of his walk. How many distinct paths are there for the visitor to walk to the museum
you add together the 2 and 6 which gets you 8 and since the formula for the area of a triangle is bass * height divided by 2 you would do 8 * 8 which is 64 and then you divide by 2 which is 32
