Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

North and Souths get added together. North is positive and South is negative.

East and West get added together. East is positive and West is negative.

This will get us two numbers for a triangle that we can make starting at the origin and ending where the two numbers take us.

10 miles north + 14 miles north = 24 miles north

10 + 14 = 24

5 miles west + 12 miles east = 7 miles east

-5 + 12 = 7
