Answer 1

I don't have the diagram or the coordinates of A, B, C, and D, so I can't pick the correct option from those choices.

To answer this you (or I) need the positions (coordinates) of the points or the distances of the segments. Then:

- Distance traveled from X to Y = |position(Y) − position(X)| (absolute value).
- If the object goes straight from A through B and C to D, the total distance A→D = |AB| + |BC| + |CD| (or simply |position(D) − position(A)| if all are on the same straight line and the object moves in one direction).

If you can upload the diagram or tell me the coordinates or the segment lengths (AB, BC, CD), I will choose the correct statement.
