Answer 1

the attachment is the right answer of the above question

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance between starting and ending point is 17m

Step-by-step explanation:

angle between east and south is 90 degree

so, we will use Pythagoras theorem

$15^{2} + 8^{2} = h^{2}$

225 + 64 = $h^{2}$

289 = $h^{2}$

$\sqrt289$ = h

h = 17
