Q A man walks 15m towards South from a fixed point From there he goes 12 m towards North and

5 km in south west direction from the starting point
15-12m in south
then 4m in west
now the distance from initial point=root(3^2+4^2)=5

15-12=3 meter in south
And the 4 meter west .
It will make a right angle triangle with base two sides of 4 and 3
Tan @= 3/4
Hence angle @=tan^(-1)(3/4)

A person walks towards south and come back to same straight line.(15-12m)=3m and he is in south direction and then take his move towards west whIch is about 4m..so the DISTANCE IS (4+3)=7m.He is SOUTHWEST FROM FIXED/STARTING POINT

15 km south + 12 km north = 3 km (in effect)
apply pythagoras theoram so that hypotenuse = 5km and it is in south west direction..
