Seema walks from A to B, which is 2 km away, turns right at 90° and walks for 3 km to point C. Then she turns right at 90° and walks to D, which is 8 km away, turns 90° right and walks 3 km to point E. Finally, she turns right at 90° and walks 4 km to point F. How far is it from A to F?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Take A at the origin with AB pointing north. Then B is (0,2)(0,2), C is (3,2)(3,2), D is (3,−6)(3,-6), E is (0,−6)(0,-6) and F is (0,−2)(0,-2). Since F lies on the same vertical line as A, the distance AF is 22 km.
