Vijay Kumar walks from his house in the north direction a distance of 15 km. Then he turns west direction and walks straight 10 km. At last he turns south direction and walks straight 5 km. How far and in which direction is he from his house?

DE = CB =10km

AE = AB - BE = 15 – 5 = 10km

(CD = BE)

AD = $√{DE^2 + AE^2}$ = $√{(10)^2 + (10)^2}$

= $√{100 +100}$ = $√{200}$ = $√{100 × 2}$ = 10$√{2}$

Thus it's 10$√{2}$ km in North-West direction.
