How far am I from the starting point if I walk 10 km north then 5 km east then 22 km south.?
Assuming you are walking on a plane, then: After walking 10 km North, followed by 5 km East followed by 10 km South you will be 5 km East of where you started. You can now continue 22 km - 10 km = 12 km further South. You now have a right angle triangle with one side 5 km, another side 12 km and the hypotenuse the unknown distance from your starting point. Distance = √((5 km)² + (12 km)²) = √(169 km²) = 13 km You are 13 km from your starting point. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, if you are walking on the earth, then the distance is not so easy as your starting point can affect the distance you are from your start: If you start 12 km north of the south pole, when you walk 10 km north followed by 5 km east followed by 22 km south you will end up at the south pole. Thus you are only 12 km from your starting point. If you start about 11.5 km south of the north pole, after walking 10 km north your 5 km walk east (or west) will take you to the opposite side of the north pole to which you started; by walking 22 km south you are walking down the other side of the earth, making you about 35 km from your starting point.
A delivery truck travels 14 blocks north 16 east and 26 south what is its final displacement from the origin assuming blocks of equal length?
Using X and Y as the map coordinates, where X is east and west (positive or negative) and Y is north and south (positive and negative), and the point 0,0 as a starting point, you can show the following: * 14 blocks north to 0,14 * 16 blocks east to 16, 14 * 26 blocks south to 16, -12 The final location is 12 blocks south and 16 blocks east of the starting point. If there were a straight diagonal street, the truck would be 20 blocks from the start (square root of 122 and 162), just east of a SE direction.
What is the displacement of a cyclist who travels 1 mile north then 1 mile east and finally 1 mile south?
The cyclist ends up 1 mile east of the starting point (unless the cycling takes place near the north or south pole!). So the displacement is 1 mile in an easterly direction.
How can you travel 3 miles south and then 3 miles east and then 3 miles north and be at your starting place?
You can start near the South Pole - 3 miles North of any point on a latitude that encircles the earth an integer number of times in 3 miles; or you can start at the North Pole.
What is an imaginary line that runs north and south and is the starting point for east?
The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that runs north and south at 0 degrees longitude. It serves as the starting point for measuring east and west location coordinates on the Earth's surface.
What compass point is opposite north -north -west?
South - South - East
How many city blocks from starting point if you walked 4 blocks north then 5 blocks west after that 8 blocks south then 7 blocks east and finally 4 blocks south?
You finish 2 blocks east and 8 blocks south of your starting point.
You walked 1 mile south then 1 mile east then walked 1 mile north and you were back to your original starting point If you are NOT at the north pole or south pole where are you?

You walked 1 mile south then 1 mile east then walked 1 mile north and you were back to your original starting point If you are NOT at the north pole where are you?
south pole This is not the correct answer...DuFuss

Is Pennsylvania north south east or west?
Of where? You need to supply a starting point from which directions can be ascertained. For instance, it is to the west of New York!
Where would your starting point be if you traveled 2 blocks north 3 blocks east and 2 blocks south?
3 blocks west
What is a 8-point compass?
A 16 point compass is a compass with 16 points, it doesn't have a official name. The points/directions in Right-To-Left order is North (N), North-North-East (NNE), East-North-East (ENE), East (E), East-South-East (ESE), South-East (SE), South-South-East (SSE), South (S), South-South-West (SSW), South-West (SW), West-South-West (WSW), West (W), West-North-West (WNW), North-West (NW) and North-North-West (NNW).
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.
What are the directions that lie between the four main directions?
