A person walks 5 m towards north. He turns left and walks 10 m. Then turns right and walks 20 m. Then turns right and walks 10 m. At what distance is he from the starting point?
I walked 5 meters in East and then took a left turn and again walked 5 metres. From there I walked 3 meters towards North. Then I took two consecutive left turns, and walked 3 meters each time. In which direction am I now from the starting point?
Explanation:
Path: 5m East, 5m North (left turn), 3m North = 8m North total. First left turn from North puts me West 3m. Second left turn puts me South 3m. Total East = 5 - 3 = 2m. Total North = 8 - 3 = 5m. Since I am East and North of the start, the direction is North-East.
Explanation:
North (0°) -> SW (225°) is 225° shift? Actually SW is 225°, difference 225° clockwise. Apply same to SE (135°): 135°+225°=360°=0° North. So North.
