Beginning in Town A, Biker Bob rides his bike 8 miles west, 5 miles north, 4 miles east, and then 15 miles north, to Town B. How far apart are Town A and Town B? (Ignore the curvature of the earth.)
Choices:
A) 25 miles	B) 20.4 miles	C) 30 miles	D) 32 miles	E) 33 miles

Rationale: "using pythagoras we have one side i , e total distance traveled in north direction = 15 + 5 = 20 m other being the base ie distance traveled west - distance traveled eat = 8 - 4 = 4 m now this third side or the distance between town a and town b = 20 ^ 2 + 4 ^ 2 = sq root 416 = 20.4 miles answer : b"
Answer: B
