Answer 1

Given:

Danny takes his dogs to the park.

He walks with his dog 5 blocks east, 5 blocks north, and 5 west to get to the park.

Each block is 56 m.

To find:

The total distance covered by Danny

Explanation:

The total number of blocks Danny covers is,

$5+5+5=15$

As the distance does not require the direction, the distance covered by Danny is,

$\begin{gathered} D=15\times56 \\ =840\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the distance covered by Danny is 840 m.
