Given:
Distance travelled towards south=3km
Distance travelled towards east= 4km
To find: how much he needs to travel to return to the destination point.
Solution:
Displacement is the shortest distance between source and destination.
By Pythagoras Theorem:
C^2= a^2 +b^2
=3^2 + 4^2
=9+16
=25
C = 5km
So, the person needs to travel 5km to reach the destination point.
