Q. Patty climbs a

40

-foot tower to ride a straight water slide. After landing in the splash pool, she walks

42

feet back to the base of the tower. How far did she travel in all?

\newline

\_\_\_\_

feet

Slide Down Tower: Patty slides down the tower which is $40$ feet high, so she travels $40$ feet downwards.
Walk Back to Base: After landing, she walks $42$ feet back to the base of the tower.
Calculate Total Distance: To find the total distance Patty traveled, add the distance she slid down to the distance she walked back.
Add Distances: Total distance = distance slid down + distance walked back.
Calculate Total: Total distance = $40$ feet + $42$ feet.
Calculate Total: Total distance = $40\,\text{feet} + 42\,\text{feet}$ .Total distance = $82\,\text{feet}$ .
