Neeraj starts from his home and heads west. He travels 5 km and then takes a right turn and travels for 4 km. He takes a right turn and travels another 6 km. After this he takes a left turn and travels for another 4 km. What is shortest distance of his current position from the starting point?
The given situation can be represented through the following figure. Let S, C be the starting and current points of Neeraj.

Hence the distance from S to C can be obtained by using Pythagoras theorem.
SC = $$\sqrt{8^{2} + 1^{2}} = \sqrt{65}$$
