Question

6. To get from point A to point B you must avoid walking through a pond. To avoid the
pond you must walk 34 meters south and 41 meters east. To the nearest meter, how many
meters would be saved if it were possible to walk through the pond?

Answer 1

Answer:

34 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Having to walk south then east to get around a pond would mean that your starting point is located to the west. To walk from west to east is a straight walk across the pond, so subtract the distance of having to walk south to get around it and you have your answer.
