Maria rode her bike 8 miles south, then 3 miles east and then 2 miles
north. What is the shortest distance back to her starting point?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 miles north and 3 miles west

Step-by-step explanation:

If you picture these miles on a graph, you start at (0,0). Then you go 8 miles south (0, -8). Then 3 miles east (3, -8). Finally, 2 miles north (3, -6). You are 3 miles east and 6 miles south, so you go the opposite directions.
