Answer

224 Km

4 Km


Explanation

Part 1

The plane flies 100 Km north and then 200 Km east. This makes a 90° turn. To get the distance taken by the plane we get the hypotenuse.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 100² + 200²

   = 50,000

c = √50,000

    = 223.606 Km

The answer to the nearest whole number is 224 Km

Part 2

If the runner run 15 Km north then 11 Km south, the resultant distance would be,

15 - 11 = 4 Km
