For this case what you can do is see the problem as a rectangle triangle where you must find the hypotenuse of it.
 Therefore we have that the distance traveled will be:
 d = root ((10) ^ 2 + (20) ^ 2)
 d = 22.36 miles.
 Answer:
 if there was a road going southeast straight to his destinantion he would do to go 22.36 miles.
