H

from the starting point

A

Explanation:

Let north be the positive

y

x

-axis.

Start at

A(0,0)

6 km north gives

B(0,6)

Right turn means east, so 8 km gives

C(8,6)

Right turn means south, so 5 km gives

D(8,1)

Left turn means east, so 3 km gives

E(11,1)

Left turn means north, so 7 km gives

F(11,8)

Right turn means east, so 2 km gives

G(13,8)

Right turn means south, so 4 km gives

H(13,4)

Thus,

H

is 13 km east and 4 km north of

A

So point

H
