A man walks 6 km east and then 13 km north how far away he is from the starting point and what is his direction?

It depends on where he started from. If he started 13 km from the North Pole, he will end up at the North Pole: so 13 km to the North of his starting point. If he started near the South Pole where the latitude is 6 km, he will again end up 13 km North of his starting point.
If the earth were a flat plane, then he would be approx 14.32 km from his starting point. He would be 27.775 deg East of North.

Anna is hiking on a mountainside that rises at a 15 degree angl she walks 1500 feet along the slope find her change in elevation to the nearest foot?
Please excuse the horrible ascii graphics (I know the angle is nothing like 15°), but this is easier with a diagram:................./|................/ |............../.. |1500 ft /.... |........../...... |......../........ | E....../.......... |..../............ |../.............. |/15°.......... |----------------E = change in elevationsin = opposite / hypotenusesin(15°) = E / 1500so, E = 1500 * sin(15°) = approx 388.23To the nearest foot, change of elevation = 388 feet

Mary walks 4 miles north and then turns and walks 5 miles west How far is she from her original starting point?

A person walks in the following pattern 8.4 km north then 1.2 km west and finally 4.7 km south judge how far and in what direction a bird would fly in a straight line from the same starting point?
Movement in north = 8.4 - 4.7 = 3.7 km Movement in west = 1.2 km Total movement = sqrt(3.7 * 3.7 + 1.2 * 1.2) = 3.89km (approx) Direction North-West asin(1.2/3.7) = 18.92 deg (approx) (from west @ 0 deg to north @ 90 deg)
Will two hikers using a forest trail always reach the same point if each of them takes four opposite displacements why or why not?
Not always. They must start at the same point and their displacements must be equal and opposite in order for them to return to the same starting point together.ExampleStarting at the same place, hiker A walks 1km north and hiker B walks 1km south. Hiker A then walks 1km west and hiker B walks 1km east. Hiker A then walks 1km south and hiker B walks 1km north. Finally, hiker A walks 1km east and hiker B walks 1km west, and they both end up together where they started.
