he travels 5 m in East, then 12 m in north.

5+12=17

Answer 2

Answer:

13m

Step-by-step explanation:

5m and 12m makes a way like right angled tringle...

so that we can find out the third side = hypotenuse of this right angled triangle.

By Pythagoras Theorem...

h^2 = o^2 + a^2

h^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

h^2 = 25+144

h^2 = 169

h = 13m
