Steve walks from his house 5 I'm south then turns east and walks 2 km. Then he walks 9 in North to his older sister's house. She gives him a ride to his friend Fred's house 2 km west. Find his distance

18 km

Explanation:

To know the distance, you need to be clear in the concept of distance.

According to the physics, the distance is a measurement that refers to the fact of how much an object has move from one point to another.

In this case, we have a person named Steve and he's walking through several points.

To calculate the distance that he moved, you just need to sum all the values of distance. In this case, it's not neccesary to do calculations regarding the components of the x or y axis, because we are not talking about displacement, where it actually counts. But in this case, we just need all the covered distance that Steven walked since the beggining.

So, no more talk, let's do calculations:

D = 5 + 2 + 9 + 2 = 18 km

So the final answer would be:

Hope this helps

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
