Respuesta :
Total distance traveled from the starting point = 487 mm (or) 0.487 m
Solution:
Given data:
Length of each block = 135 mm
Distance traveled towards North = three blocks
                           = 135 × 3
                           = 405
Distance traveled towards North = 405 mm
Distance traveled towards West = two blocks
                           = 135 × 2
                           = 270
Distance traveled towards West = 270 mm
Total distance traveled
        [tex]=\sqrt{\text{Distance traveled in North}^2+\text{Distance traveled in West}^2}[/tex]
        [tex]=\sqrt{405^2+270^2}[/tex]
        [tex]=\sqrt{236925}[/tex]
        [tex]=135\sqrt{13}[/tex]
        = 487 mm (approximately)
Total distance traveled from the starting point = 487 mm
Let us convert mm to m.
1 m = 1000 mm
487 mm = 487 ÷ 1000 = 0.487 m
Total distance traveled from the starting point = 0.487 m
