Answer:
31.34 m.
Explanation:
Given that
you walk 26 m towards east then 17.5 m towards north.
We know that the angle between north and east direction is 90°.
The total distance travel D
D= 26 + 17.5 m
D= 43.5 m
The displacement d
From the diagram
[tex]d=\sqrt{26^2+17.5^2}\ m[/tex]
d=31.34 m
The distance from the original point is 31.34 m.
Therefore the answer will be 31.34 m.
