Question

A person starts walking from his home. First, he goes 2 miles north and 3 miles west to a park. After spending the afternoon at the park, he walks 1 mile west and 4 miles south to a bar. How far is the bar from his home?
this can't be that hard. Just draw the lines. Starting at (0,0), he ends up at (-4,-2).

So, how far is that?
