A person starts from a point, walks 15 km towards West, then turns right and walks 14 km, then turns right and walks 6 km, and finally turns right and walks 2 km. How far is the person from the starting point?
A. 15 km✓ Correct Answer
B. 37 km
C. 17 km
D. 21 km
💡 Solution & Explanation
Take North and East as positive. North–South: +14 −2 = 12 km (12 km North). East–West: −15 +6 = −9 km (9 km West). The distance is √(9² + 12²) = √225 = 15 km.
