A really long walk

Geometry Level 1

If you start in a point on a grid, and you move 500 meters north, 1,000 meters east, and then 10,000 meters west, how far away do you end up from the point you started in meters?

Round your answer to the nearest integer.


The answer is 9014.

( 10000 − 1000 ) 2 + 50 0 2 = 9014 \sqrt{(10000-1000)^2 + 500^2} = \boxed{9014}
