A ship starts from port X and sails 60 km towards North-East (exactly 45° from North). It then turns and sails 80 km towards South-East (exactly 45° from South). How far is the ship from port X?

The correct answer is D: 20√13 km. Step 1: Establish coordinate system and resolve first displacement Set port X at origin with North as positive y-axis and East as positive x-axis. The ship sails 60 km at 45° from North towards North-East. $$x_1 = 60 \sin(45°) = 60 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{60}{\sqrt{2}} = 30\sqrt{2} \text{

Four people P, Q, R, S are sitting around a circular table. P is to the left of Q. R is opposite to P. Where is S sitting?
