Q: If a person walks 12 meters north and then 5 meters south, how far is he from his starting point? (2022)

Step 1: Start at the starting point.
Step 2: Walk 12 meters north. Now you are 12 meters north of the starting point.
Step 3: Walk 5 meters south. This means you are moving back towards the starting point.
