A boat travels due east for 3 kilometers, makes a right turn and heads due south for 12 kilometers, and finally makes a left turn and travels due east again for 6 more kilometers. What is the distance between the boat`s starting and ending locations?

A. 10
B. 11
C. 13
D. 15
E. 17


Draw the given information on graph we would end up getting a relation : 9^2+ 12^2= sq rt 225= 15 option D

Could you please share the graph/picture? Mine is coming out to be two triangles, kind of a rhombus.
