Answer:
5m
Explanation:
Distance walked towards east =
25m
Distance walked towards south = 15m
Distance walked towards west = 40m
Distance walked towards north = 10m
Distance walked towards east again = 15m
Total distance walked towards east = 15+25=40m
Distance walked in East - West
= 40-40= 0m
Distance walked in South - North = 15-10 = 5m
Displacement = 5m

Reese's home is in the southeast direction of the office.
- we can solve the given question in the following way.
- first of all, Reese starts by walking north for two meters.
- that means he is facing north.
- then he takes a right to walk 3 m. which means now he is facing east.
- He then turns left and walks 4 meters. which means now he is facing north again.
- Then he takes a right turn again to walk 4 meters. which means he is facing east again.
- He then turns to his right to walk 8 m and reaches his home. Which means he is facing south.
- we have to make a diagram and follow the magnitude and direction of Reese's journey.
- So that we can find out the direction of Reese's home from his office
student needs to refer to the given diagram for proper understanding.
from the diagram, we can see that his home lies to the southwest of his office.
therefore, Reese's home from his office is in the south-west direction.
