Leah walks to soccer practice on Saturday. She leaves her home and walks 6 blocks north. Leah then turns east and walks 4 more blocks to the soccer field. How far is the soccer field from Leah’s home? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

To find the distance from Leah's home to the soccer field, we can use the Pythagorean theorem since Leah walked 6 blocks north and then 4 blocks east.

Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Distance = square root of ((6^2) + (4^2))
Distance = square root of (36 + 16)
Distance = square root of 52
Distance ≈ 7.2 blocks

Therefore, the soccer field is approximately 7.2 blocks from Leah's home.
