Quick homework question (Vietnam)

Hey everyone,
We started to learn about Vietnam, and im having trouble finding the question to this answer:

The Tet offensive ranged from Hue to Can Tho. Thus, over approximately how many miles did the North Vietnamese attacks stretch?

Thanks,
Hiji

I lack the knowledge of the exact amount of kilometers, but around Hue the country is at its narrowest. It can't be [much] more than a 100 km (65 miles).

The NVA didn't have much to do with Tet. The Viet Kong planned and executed Tet with, as always, NVA assitance. After Tet the NVA took over the war as the VC were exterminated by US forces during the offensive. Also Tet was basically carefully orchestrated terrorist attacks on major symbols of US power in South Vietnam. The whole country was attacked in one way or the other. But again as always the north of the South where Hue was located was the focal point.

Maybe this will help Hiji.
