Charlie travels Four blocks north Two east Three south and finally Two west How far is Charlie from his starting point?
The answer is one block. if you draw on a map where Charlie is, and move him in the correct directions, you will see that he is almost back where he began, only one block to the north of where he first started. This is a simple exercise in X and Y map coordinates. Setting the initial point at 0,0 and adding numerically, you can determine the final point. Let X be the points east and west (right and left as on a map). Let Y be the points north and south (up and down as on a map). Adding each change to the 0,0 starting point we get : * 4 blocks north = 0,4 * 2 blocks east = 2, 4 * 3 blocks south = 2, 1 * 2 blocks west = 0,1 Using this form, it is easy to see that he reversed his east-west movement completely, and only had a net change of +1 (north) on his north-south movement.

Fred will be four blocks from his starting place if he travels two blocks north then three blocks east and then two blocks south Is it true or false?
False
Fred will be four blocks from his starting place if he travels two blocks north then three blocks east and then two blocks south.?
That is incorrect. The distance travelled north cancels out the distance travelled south. Therefore - he only travels three blocks east.
How many city blocks from starting point if you walked 4 blocks north then 5 blocks west after that 8 blocks south then 7 blocks east and finally 4 blocks south?
You finish 2 blocks east and 8 blocks south of your starting point.
Fred will be four blocks from his starting place if he travels two blocks north then three blocks east and then two blocks south?
Fred's journey consists of moving two blocks north, three blocks east, and then two blocks south. After traveling north and south, his vertical position returns to the same horizontal line. However, the three blocks he moved east remain, meaning he is ultimately four blocks east from his starting position. Therefore, he is indeed four blocks from his starting place.
Ralph travels four blocks north then two east then three south and finally two west How many blocks is Ralph from his starting place?
Ralph is one block north of his starting place, although he walked eleven blocks to get there. The Coordinate SolutionIf you consider the starting point at (0,0) and movement north /east as positive, and south / west as negative, you create the following movement. (0,0) + (4,0) + (0,2) + (-3, 0) + (0, -2) = (1,0) or 1 block north of the start.

A delivery truck travels 14 blocks north 16 east and 26 south what is its final displacement from the origin assuming blocks of equal length?
Using X and Y as the map coordinates, where X is east and west (positive or negative) and Y is north and south (positive and negative), and the point 0,0 as a starting point, you can show the following: * 14 blocks north to 0,14 * 16 blocks east to 16, 14 * 26 blocks south to 16, -12 The final location is 12 blocks south and 16 blocks east of the starting point. If there were a straight diagonal street, the truck would be 20 blocks from the start (square root of 122 and 162), just east of a SE direction.
