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

The distance from Leah's home to the soccer field can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.

a = 6 blocks (north)
b = 4 blocks (east)

c = √(a² + b²)
c = √(6² + 4²)
c = √(36 + 16)
c = √52
c ≈ 7.2

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