A person starts from a point, walks 6 km towards West, then turns right and walks 6 km, and finally turns right and walks 14 km. How far is the person from the starting point?
A. 14 km
B. 10 km✓ Correct Answer
C. 12 km
D. 26 km
💡 Solution & Explanation
Take North and East as positive. North–South: +6 = 6 km (6 km North). East–West: −6 +14 = 8 km (8 km East). The distance is √(8² + 6²) = √100 = 10 km.
