Arun is participating in an 8-miles walk. The organizers used a square coordinate grid to
plot the course. The starting point is at A (3, 1). At B (3, 4), there's a water station to
make sure the walkers stay hydrated.
From water station, the walkway turns right and at C(6, 4), a garden is situated to keep
walkers fresh. From the garden, the walkway turns left and finally, Arun reaches at
destination D to complete 8 miles.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) How far is the water station B from the starting point A?
(ii) How far is the water station B from garden C?
(iii) What is the abscissa of destination point D?
(iv) What are the coordinates of destination point D?
