Village P is 10 km North of village Q. Village R is 10 km East of Q. Village S is 10 km South of R. How far and in which direction is S from Q?

Question

Accepted Answer

10√2 km, South-East. Taking Q as origin, R is at (10, 0) and S is 10 km South of R at (10, -10). So S is 10 km East and 10 km South of Q: distance √(100+100) = 10√2 km, to the South-East.
