Respuesta :

Answer:

d = 233.23 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Justin walks 200 feet to the east, then turns and  walks 120 feet due south.

We need to find the total distance walked by Justin. Let the distance be d.

We can use the Pythagoras theorem to find it such that,

[tex]d=\sqrt{d_1^2+d_2^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{200^2+120^2} \\\\d=233.24\ feet[/tex]

So, he walk 233.23 feet in all.
