Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
A man walks 5 km towards the north, then turns east and walks 3 km. In which direction is he from the starting point?
Step 1: Start at the starting point.
Step 2: Walk 5 km towards the north. Now you are 5 km north of the starting point.
Step 3: From that point, turn to the east.
Step 4: Walk 3 km towards the east. Now you are 5 km north and 3 km east of the starting point.
Step 5: To find the direction from the starting point, visualize or draw a right triangle where one side is 5 km (north) and the other side is 3 km (east).
Step 6: The direction from the starting point to your current position is between north and east, which is called North-East.
