Woody and Mr Potato Head start at the same point on the toy room floor walk in opposite directions for 80cm.Each then turns left and walks 40cm.Finally each of them turns left again and walks 80cm.How far apart are they then?
After walking 80cm in opposite directions, they are 160cm apart (80cm + 80cm).
Then, after turning left and walking 40cm, they each move 40cm closer to each other, making them 80cm apart (160cm - 40cm - 40cm).
Finally, after turning left again and walking 80cm, they move away from each other again, but this time they are moving in parallel (perpendicular to their original paths) and the distances they move don't affect their distance from each other.
Therefore, they are still 80cm apart.
