Answer 2

Correct Question: Ross leaves for the office in his car. He drives 5 miles toward south and then 4 miles toward west. He then turns toward south and drives 7 more miles. He drives an additional 4 miles toward east. He then drives toward north and covers 5 more miles. How far and in which direction is he from the starting point?​

Given:

Directions Ross travels in his car to the office.

To Find:

Distance and directions of Ross from the starting point.

Solution:

We can use an arrow diagram to find the distance and direction.

• First Ross drives 5 miles toward the south, and then 2 miles toward the west. Therefore, he is now facing the west direction.
• Then he drives to the south 7 miles and then towards east 4 miles.
• He turns toward the north direction and drives 5 miles. Find the distance from the starting point by adding 5 and (7-5), i.e., 5 + 2 = 7 miles from the staring ting point.
• He is below the starting point, therefore his direction from the starting point is south.
