A bee flies 25 meters north of the hive, then 10 meters east, 5 meters west, and 10 meters south. How far north and east of the hive is the bee now? Explain how you calculated your answer.



Answer :

AL2006

25 meters north  =  25 meters north

10 meters east  = 10 meters east

5 meters west  =  -5 meters east

10 meters south =  -10 meters north

Add up all the north components:  (25 - 10)  =  15 meters north of the hive

Add up all the east components:  (10 - 5)  =  5 meters east of the hive
