(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the bunny's total distance traveled, we simply add the distances for each segment of its journey.

The bunny hops 20 meters north and then 8 meters west.

Total distance = Distance North + Distance West
Total distance = 20 meters + 8 meters
Total distance = 28 meters

So, the bunny's total distance traveled is 28 meters.
