10 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

east

Required

Determine the shortest possible distance

To better explain my solution, I've added an attachment that illustrates her movement.

Using the attachment as a point of reference, the shortest distance is calculated by calculating the length of the hypotenuse using Pythagoras theorem.

So, we have:

Take positive square root of both sides

the forst and 3rd

step-by-step explanation:
