Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider a Cartesian plane thinking positive X-axis as South,
Negative x axis as North, Positive Y-axis as East and Negative as West.
A man walked along negative X-axis 3 m and then parallel to negative Y-axis he walked 2 m.
And then parallel to negative X-axis he walked 1 m and finally walked 5 m parallel to positive Y-axis and he has coordinates of (−4,3).
He makes right angle triangle with base AC=4, side AB=3 and hypotenuse BC.
∴ by Pythagoras theorem,
BC 2 =AB 2
+AC 2⟹ BC 2 =3
2 +4 2
∴ BC=5.
Hence from origin he is at distance of 5 m
