\n" ); document.write( "Based on the description, the person ends up 4km West and 13km South of where they started. The shortest distance from their starting point (0,0) to (-4,-13) is \"sqrt%284%5E2%2B13%5E2%29+=+sqrt%2816%2B169%29+=+sqrt%28185%29+\" which is approximately 13.6km from the starting point.
