<PRE><B>Question 1049620</B>
A boat sail 12 km towards north and then 35 km towards East find the distance between starting and storing point of the boat 
------
Sketch the picture ; connect start and storing points.
You should see a right triangle.
Solve for the hypotenuse using Pythagoras  ::
d = sqrt[12^2 + 35^2]  = sqrt(1369) = 37 km
