To find the total distance Paul will travel, we need to sum up the distances between each of the locations.
From Paul's friend Jacob's house to the grocery store, he will travel a distance of √17.
From the grocery store to home, he will also travel a distance of √17.
Therefore, the total distance Paul will travel is 2√17.
Thus, the correct answer is 2 square root of 17.
