Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

He is 25m far from the starting point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculated by using Pythagoras Theorem,

Given, Base= Movement towards West

Height= Movement towards North

Therefore, In Right Triangle,

$hypotenuse = \sqrt{(base)^{2} + (height)^{2} }$

$hypotenuse = \sqrt{(20)^{2} + (15)^{2} }$

$hypotenuse = \sqrt{400 + 225}$

$hypotenuse = \sqrt{625} = 25m$

So, he is 25m far from the starting point.

Hope you get this!!
