Answer 1

3) John is 25 miles far from his initial position

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct option is (3) i.e. 25miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Direction is the information contained in the relative location of one point with regard to another. Directions may be either absolute in accordance with some previously established frame of reference or relative to some designated reference.

The four cardinal directions or cardinal points are:

• North
• East
• South
• West

These directions are often denoted by their initials: N, E, S, and W. North and South are at right angles to east and west, with east rotating counterclockwise to north and west immediately across from east.

Given: John runs 5 miles south and then 25 miles west. next, he runs 5 miles north.

Find: How far is he from his initial position?

1) 5 miles 2) 20 miles 3) 25 miles 4) 30 miles

As shown in figure let A be the initial position and B be final position.

John runs 5 miles south- From A to C

25 miles west- From C to D

5 miles north- From D to B

Hence, distance between  final position and  initial position is 25 miles.
