Respuesta :

Answer:

John is 9.21 km form the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

John leaves school to go home. His bus drives 6 kilometres north and then goes 7 kilometres west. It is required to find John's distance from the school. It is equal to the shortest path covered or its displacement. So,

[tex]d=\sqrt{6^2+7^2} \\\\d=9.21\ km[/tex]

So, John is 9.21 km form the school.
