Answer: D. 20 m, south-west

Answer: (D) 20 m, south-west

P = (0, 0), Q = (12, 0), R = (12, 16). PR = \(\sqrt{12^2 + 16^2} = 20\) m.

From R, P is to the west (left) and south (down), so P is to the south-west of R. (In 8-point questions, a direction that is both south and west is read as south-west.)
