Question

A surveyor starts at the southeast corner of a lot and

Answer 1

Find the difference vertically( North and South) and the difference horizontally ( East and West)

Then use  the Pythagorean Theorem.

600 North - 200 South = 400 m

400 West - 100 East = 300 m

Now using the Pythagorean Theorem;

400^2 + 300^2 = total displacement^2

Total displacement^2 = 160,000 + 90,000

Total displacement^2 = 250,000

Total displacement = √250,000

Total displacement = 500 m
