Answer:

using Pythagoras theorem we have

x^{2} =24^{2}+7^{2}\\x^{2} =144+49\\x^{2} =193\\x=\sqrt[]{193} \\x=13.89km

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 : draw the diagram based on the question.

you draw a line upward 13km and draw another one to the right 24km then draw another one down 6km, now you join the the last line to the original starting point.

Step 2: after drawing the diagram above you should draw a doted line from the end of the last line due south to bisect the first line due north and label the line 24km also since it forms a rectangle.

step 3: it now forms a right-angled triangle at the bottom then you apply the Pythagoras theorem
