A person starts at point A and walks 5 blocks North, then 3 blocks West, then 2 blocks South and finally 1 block East. What is the person's final position relative to point A?
- A7 blocks West and 3 blocks North
- B2 blocks West and 3 blocks North
- C4 blocks West and 4 blocks North
- D1 block West and 2 blocks North
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's calculate the net movement along the North-South and East-West axes:
* North-South axis: .
* East-West axis: .
Combining these movements, the final position relative to point A is 2 blocks West and 3 blocks North.
* North-South axis: .
* East-West axis: .
Combining these movements, the final position relative to point A is 2 blocks West and 3 blocks North.
