A man walked 2 miles east, then 2 miles south, then again 4 miles east and finally 10 miles north . How far did he wald from the starting point ?

Correct Answer: 10
He total walked northwards = 10 - 2 = 8 miles  He total walked eastwards = 2 + 4 = 6 miles His direct distance from the starting point = √(82 + 62 = √100 = 10 miles
