An ant is crawling along the edges of a unit cube. What is the maximum distance it can cover starting from a corner so that it does not cover any edge twice? please explain each step! (include drawings)

Step 1
We have a unit cube, which means all its edges are of equal length. The task is to find the maximum distance an ant can travel starting from a corner without traversing any edge more than once. Show more…

An ant is crawling along a straight wire, which we shall call the $x$ axis, from $A$ to $B$ to $C$ to $D$ (which overlaps $A$ ), as shown in Figure 2.41 .0 is the origin. Suppose you take measurements and find that $A B$ is $50 \mathrm{~cm}, B C$ is $30 \mathrm{~cm},$ and $A O$ is $5 \mathrm{~cm} .$ (a) What is the ant's position at points $A, B, C,$ and $D ?$ (b) Find the displacement of the ant and the distance it has moved over each of the following intervals: (i) from $A$ to $B$, (ii) from $B$ to $C$, (iii) from $C$ to $D,$ and (iv) from $A$ to $D .$
