Answer:
he is 13 cm away....Because he went 12 cm West and 5cm North , if you join the three points ( starting point , West point , North point ) . You will get a Right angled Triangle . The shortest distance from starting point is the point directly of North. So , 12 square + 5 square = 169 , √169 = the measure of the shortest distance i.e. 13 cm
Or the answer is 17 cm = 12 cm + 5 cm
