The total EW distance is 8 - 2 = 6 km.
The total NS distance is 5 km
Therefore, total distance from the start is sqrt(62 + 52) = sqrt(36 + 25) = sqrt(61) =7.8 km (approx).
The answer assumes that the boat is sufficiently far from the poles so that the various stages of its travel is along perpendicular lines.

Harriet traveled 1249 meters by bicycle. Then she traveled 2987 meters by boat and 66245 meters by hot air balloon. How many meters did Harriet travel altogether?
1249 + 2987 + 66245 = 70481
Where did Pythagoras travel?
he traveled to america then japan then he got in a boat and now he is with you! this is why you know copy of wiki cause they tell lies hope it helped you as much as it did me and btw add mee bruuu :) facebook will help!
A fishing boat traveled 3 hours against a 6 kmhr current The return trip took only 2 hours Find the speed of the boat?
The speed of the boat is 36 km/h. Going upstream: 3h x 36km/h = 108 km, minus (6x3 =18 km) = 90 km Going downstream: 2h x 36km/h = 72 km, plus (6x2 =12 km) = 90 km
A boat moving 12 mph north is being blown off course by a 9 mph wind blowing west At what angle is the boat being moved of course?
Angle D = 36.8699(degrees) using tan D = b/a. Hope this helps.
What is the greatest velocity that a boat on a river can attain if the boat's motor moves at 10 km per hr and the river's current is 8 km per hr?
Boat WRT land, downstream 10 + 8 = 18 KMH Boat WRT land, upstream 10 - 8 = 2 KMH Boat WRT water 10 KMH

A boat travels due east for a distance of 15 miles it travels due north for a distance of 20 miles at which point it drops anchor how many milesis the boat from it?
A trick question! The boat is still quite close to the point where it dropped the anchor! ============================ The boat is approximately 25 miles from its starting point, and exactly zero miles from the point where the anchor was dropped.
A boat travels due east for a distance of 15 miles. It then travels due north for distace of 20 miles. How many miles is the boat from it's starting point?
25 miles.
A boat travels due east for a distance of 15 miles its then travels due north for a distance of 20 miles at which point it drops anchor how many miles is the boat from it's starting point?
This is where you apply the pythagorean theorem: d = √(152 + 202) ∴d = √(225 + 400) ∴d = √(625) ∴d = 25 So the boat is 15 miles from it's starting point
