Expert Solution

Step 1

Given to us,

first walked to west direction 14 m and then 28 m to the north.

it will form a right angle triangle, thus hypotenuse will be the distance between the initial and final position.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

$H y p o t e n u s e^{2} = P e r p e n d i c u l a r^{2} + B a s e^{2} = 28^{2} + 14^{2} = 980 H y p o t e n u s e = \sqrt{980} = 31.3 m$

Thus the distance from initial position is 31.3 m.
