Answer 2

Hey dear,

◆ Answer-
s = 63.24 m facing north

◆ Explanation-
[Refer to the figure]

As we can see, Nancy is standing at point A facing north.
Her movement should be tracked with the help of map diagram like I've posted.

From the figure, we can see that, Nancy is standing at destination point facing north again.

Let,
a = total vertical distance
b = total horizontal distance

Total distance from starting point is-
s = √(a^2 + b^2)
s = √(60^2 + 20^2)
s = √(3600+400)
s = √(4000)
s = 63.24 m

Therefore, Nancy is standing at destination point facing north 63
24 m from starting point.

Hope it helps...
