The girl walked 60 m from the house towards the west. Then she turned north and walked 700 m. After that, she turned east and walked another 60 m. At what distance (in measures) was the girl from the house?
The girl’s entire path can be represented as the sides of a quadrangle. This quadrilateral will be a rectangle because its two opposite segments are equal (the first segment of the path is 60 m and the third segment is 60 m) and the angles between the first three segments are equal to 90 degrees. Then the distance from the point at which the girl was to the house will be equal to the length of the second segment of the path, that is, 700 m.
Answer: 700 m.
