Setting the store as the origin (0,0), Bob is at (3, 4) and Kim is at (-2, -2)
The distances are 5 and 6, respectively, and the diagonal or straight line distance is
sqrt (x2 + y2) = sqrt (25 + 36) = sqrt (61) or about 7.81 miles

Omar drives a car five miles north then five miles west then five miles south How many miles is he likely to be from his starting point?
The obvious answer is 5 miles. The not-so-obvious part is it depends on where he is when he starts. If he is on the equator, he is five miles from his point of origin. If his starting point was the south pole, and he drives five miles north, then west, then south, he will arrive back at his starting point. Before you disagree, consider that he is driving on a sphere not a flat plain.

Is losing $20, the same as gaining $20? Is driving 50 miles North the same as driving 50 miles South? Of course not!! Negative numbers are not the same as positive numbers!! True, but that does not apply to all numbers: 0 is the same as its additive inverse. 1 and -1 are the same as their multiplicative inverses.
