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.
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.
