<PRE><B>Question 831037</B>
John walks 1 mile west. Then he turns north and walks another 2 miles before he stops to rest. 
How far is John from his starting point when he stops to rest? 
Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
------
Start: (0,0)
1st leg: (-1,0)
2nd leg: (-1,2)
--------
Distance from Start: d = sqrt[1^2+2^2] = sqrt(5) = 2.2 when rounded down
--------------
