Question

A man walks a certain distance due North and then the same distance plus a further 7 km due East. If the final distance from the starting point 17 km, find the distances he walks North and East​

Answer 1

Explanation:

in a triangle, if the hipotenus is 17, the other edges' lenghts are multiples of 8 and 15.

so the Man walked 23km.

subtract 7km

16km left

so he goes 8km north and 15km east
