The map of a walking trail is drawn on a coordinate grid with three points of interest. The trail starts at R(−1, 4) and goes to S(5, 4) and continues to T(5, −2). The total length of the walking trail is ____ units. (Input whole numbers only.)

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The first segment, RS, is along the grid line y=4 from x=-1 to x=5, a total distance of 5-(-1)=6 grid units.

The second segment, ST, is along the grid line x=5 from y=4 to y=-2, a total distance of 4-(-2)=6 grid units.

The total length of the trail is the sum of the lengths of the first and second segments, so is 6+6=12 units.
