Respuesta :

At the end of the game, the children will travelled a distance of 36m from where they started.

From the question, it is given that two children  running 10 m north, 6 m east, then 2 m south.

Whenever a question is asking "how far" that means the distance travelled. Distance is scalar quantity. That is, we can only consider its magnitude by adding them up.

Distance = 10 + 6 + 2 = 18m

Since it involves two children, we will multiply it by 2

Total distance = 2 (18) = 36m

Therefore, at the end of the game, the children will travelled a distance of 36m from where they started.
