A man starts from his office and goes 8 km east. Then he turns to the left and walks for 3 km. Again he turns left and walks for 8 km. At what distance is he from the starting point?
- a.5 km
- b.4 km
- c.6 km
- d.3 km
Answer: (D) 3 km
Plotting the path: starting at $(0,0)$, moving 8 km east to $(8,0)$, then turning left (now facing north) 3 km to $(8,3)$, then turning left again (now facing west) 8 km back to $(0,3)$. The distance from the starting point $(0,0)$ to $(0,3)$ is 3 km.
