Answer:

450m South

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance traveled Northward :

1000m + 600m = 1600m Northward

Total distance traveled Southward :

1250m + 800m = 2050m

The Displacement :

Southward - Northward

2050m - 1650m

= 450m

Since, it covers more distance towards the south, then, direction is southward

450m South

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

26 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 24 miles drive to north.

          10 miles drive to east.

Driving pattern form a right angle triangle, which has three leg including straight line distance from starting point (hypotenous).

Now, using Pythogorean theoram to find straight line distance from starting point.

h²= a²+b²

Where, h is hypotenous

            a is opposite leg

            b is adjacent leg.

⇒h²= 24^{2} + 10^{2}

⇒h^{2} = 576+100

⇒h^{2} = 676

Taking square root on both side, remember; √a²= ±a

⇒h=\sqrt{676}

∴ h= \pm 26

Ignoring -26 as distance cannot be negative.

Hence, 26 miles is the straight line distance from starting point.
