Part B: Fill out the Problem-Solving boxes to talk yourself through the problem.

Two mountain bikers leave from the same parking lot and head in opposite directions on two different trials. The first rider goes 8km due East, then rides due south for 15km. The second rider goes 8km due West, then changes direction and rides 20 degrees west due North for 15km. (See the picture below.) Both riders have been traveling for 23km, but when they stopped, which one was further away from the parking lot?
