Starting at X, a cyclist goes 20 km West; then 15 km South; then 8 km East; then 6 km North. Locate the cyclist relative to X.

Important Notes

• Draw a north arrow before solving and take East as positive x, West as negative x, North as positive y, and South as negative y. |
• Combine opposite movements before calculating distance: cancel East with West and North with South. |
• Decide the final direction from the signs of the remaining horizontal and vertical displacements. For example, positive x and negative y indicate South-East. |
