Answer 2

Answer:

Aaron’s final location is 130 meters due East from the starting point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aaron starts at O, goes due South for $50$meters, turns left at P, faces due East, goes $70$meters in that direction, turns left at Q, and heads back north. Goes $50$meters due North and reaches point S which lies exactly $70$meters to the East of where Aaron had first started from (that is, point O). Aaron then turns right, that is, faces exact East, and continues for $60$miles till he reaches point T.

Thus, Aaron’s final location is a total distance of $OS+ST$ in the due East direction.

Now,

$OS=PQ=70$ meters.

Therefore, Aaron’s final location is $(70+60)=130$meters due East from the starting point.
