In a car, Phil started at the park and drove 20 km west, 15 km east, and 70 km south.  If all the roads run either north/south, or east/west, what is the shortest route Phil can take to return to the park?  Give the directions and the distances he must travel.

    5km EAST, 70km NORTH. He would drive a total of 75km.

    Well, Phil must go 5 km to the east and 70 km to the north. If you add those together you would get a total of 75 km to get back to the park.
