Directions (77-79) : Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

U stays 20m north of X. S stays 16m west of W. V stays 6m south of R. T stays 18m east of X. S stays 34m north of T. V stays 8m west of U.

What is the total distance from U to W?

The correct option is 88m.

Let us step-by-step trace the positions of the points based on the given directional directions:

1. U stays 20m north of X.
2. T stays 18m east of X.
3. V stays 8m west of U.
4. V stays 6m south of R, which means R is 6m north of V.
5. S stays 34m north of T.
6. S stays 16m west of W, which means W stays 16m east of S.

Now, let us calculate the total distance when traveling from point U to point W via the given connections:

Distance from U to X = 20m
Distance from X to T = 18m
Distance from T to S = 34m
Distance from S to W = 16m

Adding all these individual segment lengths together to get the total distance from U to W via these points:

$\text{Total Distance}=20\text{m}+18\text{m}+34\text{m}+16\text{m}$

$\text{Total Distance}=88\text{m}$

Thus, the total distance from U to W is 88m.
