Question 1

A person walks 35m South, then 20m South. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (0, -55). Shortest distance = √(0² + -55²) = 55.0 m.

Question 2

A person walks 22m North, then 14m North, then 26m North. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (0, 62). Shortest distance = √(0² + 62²) = 62.0 m.

Question 3

A person walks 23m South, then 27m South, then 18m West. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-18, -50). Shortest distance = √(-18² + -50²) = 53.1 m.

Question 4

A person walks 36m North, then 10m North. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (0, 46). Shortest distance = √(0² + 46²) = 46.0 m.

Question 5

A person walks 26m East, then 22m South. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (26, -22). Shortest distance = √(26² + -22²) = 34.1 m.

Question 6

A person walks 27m East, then 40m South, then 36m South. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (27, -76). Shortest distance = √(27² + -76²) = 80.7 m.

Question 7

A person walks 17m South, then 34m East, then 21m East. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (55, -17). Shortest distance = √(55² + -17²) = 57.6 m.

Question 8

A person walks 29m South, then 34m West. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-34, -29). Shortest distance = √(-34² + -29²) = 44.7 m.

Question 9

A person walks 16m West, then 37m North, then 15m West. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-31, 37). Shortest distance = √(-31² + 37²) = 48.3 m.

Question 10

A person walks 40m East, then 18m West. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (22, 0). Shortest distance = √(22² + 0²) = 22.0 m.

Question 11

A person walks 18m South, then 11m North, then 40m West. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-40, -7). Shortest distance = √(-40² + -7²) = 40.6 m.

Question 12

A person walks 27m South, then 11m East, then 24m North. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (11, -3). Shortest distance = √(11² + -3²) = 11.4 m.

Question 13

A person walks 12m South, then 25m East, then 20m West. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (5, -12). Shortest distance = √(5² + -12²) = 13.0 m.

Question 14

A person walks 18m West, then 33m West. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-51, 0). Shortest distance = √(-51² + 0²) = 51.0 m.

Question 15

A person walks 24m North, then 29m West, then 22m North. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-29, 46). Shortest distance = √(-29² + 46²) = 54.4 m.

Question 16

A person walks 25m North, then 40m North, then 36m East. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (36, 65). Shortest distance = √(36² + 65²) = 74.3 m.

Question 17

A person walks 13m South, then 12m West, then 29m South. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-12, -42). Shortest distance = √(-12² + -42²) = 43.7 m.

Question 18

A person walks 28m West, then 32m East, then 40m East. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (44, 0). Shortest distance = √(44² + 0²) = 44.0 m.

Question 19

A person walks 30m West, then 40m West. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-70, 0). Shortest distance = √(-70² + 0²) = 70.0 m.

Question 20

A person walks 36m South, then 19m North, then 26m West. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-26, -17). Shortest distance = √(-26² + -17²) = 31.1 m.
