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

Explanation

One must walk 4 m from A to reach D.

B being 4 north of A and E east of B are not needed here.

C is 5 east of A at (5,0).

D is 9 west of C at (5-9,0) = (-4,0).

A is at (0,0), so A to D is 4 m along the line.
