Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Let home = (0,0) East 50 → (50, 0)
Right (South) 150 → (50, −150)
Left (East) 100 → (150, −150) = Temple
North 250 → (150, 100)
Left (West) 100 → (50, 100)
Left (South) 100 → (50, 0) = Point P
So P = (50, 0) and home = (0,0). Distance = 50 m and direction = West .
