Question 1141424: If you travel 5 mi west and then 12 mi south, how far are you from your starting point?
I’m assuming the answer to this question would be a negative number since you’re moving to the left and then down. Answer by MathLover1(20850) (Show Source):

in right triangle, the lengths of legs are and units, so hypotenuse (the distance from origin to point) will be:
=> you are miles from your starting point
