Point B is 4 m north of Point A. Point E is 8 m east of Point B. Point C is 5 m east of Point A. Point D is 9 m west of Point C. How far should one walk from Point A to reach Point D?
A4 m ✓ Correct
B9 m
C5 m
D14 m
Correct answer: (A) 4 m — One should walk 4 m from A to reach D, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★One should walk 4 m from A to reach D, so that is the answer.
★Take Point A as the origin at ground level.
★Point C is 5 m east of A, so C is 5 m to the right of A.
★Point D is 9 m west of C, which brings it back past A by 4 m.
★So D lies 4 m to the west of A on the same line.
★So one should walk 4 m from Point A to reach Point D.
