Math Problem Statement
From point P, Matthew walks 160 m due south to point Q. From Q, he then walks 150 m due east to point R. Work out the length of PR. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
Solution
Let's break down the problem:
Matthew walks in two straight segments, one south and then east. We need to find the length of the straight line from point P to point R (PR).
