Options for question 59

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. With B at the origin: A=10A = 10 m north; C=10C = 10 m east, 10 m north; D=10D = 10 m east, 10 m south; E=0E = 0 east, 10 m south.

  2. So E is 10 m directly south of B.

Worth noting

10210\sqrt{2} m south-east is where D is. 20 m south forgets that A started 10 m north of B.
