Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's your answer  

____________________________________________________________

Let is house be at the Origin ( Intersection point in the attachment )

He drives 169 km to the eastern direction. Again he drives 192 km towards the western direction.  

Therefore western direction has greater length of distance. So he is facing the western direction from his home.

West Direction Distance - East Direction Distance = Distance from home.

=> 192 km - 169 km = Distance from Home.

= 23 km = Distance from home.

Hence he is at a distance of 23 km from his home facing the West direction.
