      A boy leaves his house. He travels 6 km towards South,

      then travels 8 km towards West and further travels 9 km towards South. How far and in which direction is he from his house now?
      A 13 km, South West Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 17 km, South West Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 17 km, North West Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      1. Total distance traveled South: 6 + 9 = 15 km. 2. Total distance traveled West: 8 km. 3. Using the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the straight-line distance: 4. Since the movement is South and West, the direction is South West.ย
