25m NE from Origin.

Explanation:

One just uses the Pythagoras Theorem of a right angle triangle.

The distance from origin to the endpoint is the hypotenuse (x), so you just square the two values given, which is the base and upright of the triangle, add them together and square root it. That will be your answer.

152 + 202 = x2
225 + 400 = x2
625 = x2
625 = x
25m = x

The direction from origin is just the East value and North value combined, thus final answer is 25m NE.

Hope I helped :)
