Explanation:

- Mira begins her journey from point J, which is 4 feet east of point K.

- Point P is set 10 feet north of point J.

- Point P is also 4 feet west of point Q, aligning Q directly east of P.

- Point S is aligned southward, exactly 10 feet from Q.

- Point R lies halfway along the vertical line between Q and S.

- Point U is found 4 feet east of Point R and 5 feet north of Point V.

- Finally, calculate V’s position: since R is a midpoint on the line QS, its x-coordinate equals point Q’s minus 4 (since R is 4 feet west of U).

- The distance from point K (which is 4 feet west of J) to point V factors in both the 10 feet to reach line R-U and the additional 2x4 = 8 feet (west to east travel), leading to an overall 12 feet.

The correct answer is Option 2: 12 feet.
