    Visualize the distance traveled as the two side lengths of a right triangle, for this we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse (which is the shortest distance from his house to his office).

    a²+b²=c²

    6²+4²=c²

    36+16=c²

    52=c²

    7.21=c

    Answer=7.21km
