You are playing a game of catch with a dog. Fido is initially standing near your feet. Then he jogs 10 m in a straight line to retrieve a stick, and carries it 7 m back toward you before lying on the ground to chew on the stick. How far away from you is he (in meters)?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

Fido is initially standing near the person's feet. Initially, he jogs 10 meters in a straight line to retrieve a stick and carries it 7 m back toward the person before lying on the ground to chew on the stick.

Initially, he covers 10 meters of distance then it comes towards the person and covers 7 meters in front of the person.

It is clear that he is at a distance of 10 meters - 7 meters = 3 meters
