Answer:
a) we can form a triangle in order to use the Pythagorean theorem = 3² + 1² = h²
h² = 9 + 1 = 10
h = √10
h = 3.1623 blocks
we must also find the angle at the initial point of the triangle (A):
tan⁻¹ (1/3) = 18.43°
the position relative to her starting position is 90° - 18.43° = 71.57° north of east
b) total distance traveled = 6 + 3 + 7 = 16 blocks
