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.

The answer is....................................... LOL do it yourself, lml no its ................ Me giving you the answer wont help you............. I bet your still waiting or you went back but okay... your still here -________- suits your self Its 2 blocks east!
How many 16 x 16 blocks to cover 453 sq ft?
Assuming you are referring to 16 by 16 feet, 16 sqrd = 256 453/256 = 1.77 blocks.
How many 8x16 cement blocks would it take to cover 144 square feet area?
Assuming they are 8 inch*16 inch blocks, 144 square feet = 144*12*12 square inches. So number of blocks required = 144*12*12/(8*16) = 162
How many 12 by 12 blocks do you need to make 105 square feet?
It depends. Assuming that you mean 12 by 12 in. blocks, then you would need 105 of them, because 12 inches is one foot, and 1x1=1. 105 divided by 1 is 105.
If a person walks 3 blocks East and 4 blocks North what is the displacement of the person?
5 blocks
Meg walks 5 blocks south and then turns around and walks 8 blocks back to the north the distance she walks is 13 blocks what is her displacement?
If Meg walks 5 blocks south, then turns around and walks 8 blocks back, her displacement is 3 blocks.
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.
Is this True or false Five blocks south is an example of displacement?
True.
A runner travels 8 blocks north and 15 blocks east. How far is the runner from her starting point?
17 blocks
Someone walked three blocks east then two blocks south one block west and finally two blocks north they traveled a distance of eight blocks and have a displacement of what blocks east?
3 blocks east
Edward and his family are sightseeing They walk two blocks north four blocks west and two blocks south All together theyve walked blocks and have a total displacement magnitude only of?
Edward and his family are sightseeing. They walk two blocks north, four blocks west and two blocks south. All together they have walked blocks and have a total displacement magnitude only of 8. 2+4+2=8
Is 3 blocks east a displacement?
Yes. A displacement is a vector. A vector is some sort of magnitude and a direction. Since 3 blocks is a magnitue(it is a distance) and east is a direction, the quantity is a vector, and therefore, a displacement. However, if you did not include a direction, the quantity is scalar, meaning it has magnitude, but no direction. Saying "Walk Three Blocks" could mean to walk three blocks in any direction. Not very useful. Hope this helps!
