If a person walks 5 km north, then 3 km east, and finally 5 km south, how far is he from the starting point?
  • Step 1: Start at the starting point (let's call it point A).
  • Step 2: Walk 5 km north to reach point B.
  • Step 3: From point B, walk 3 km east to reach point C.
  • Step 4: From point C, walk 5 km south to reach point D.
  • Step 5: Now, point D is directly south of point B, so you are 3 km east of point A.
