Start at H(0,0)\displaystyle H(0, 0).
1. West 2\displaystyle 2 km (2,0)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-2, 0).
2. South 4\displaystyle 4 km (2,4)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-2, -4).
3. East 3\displaystyle 3 km (1,4)\displaystyle \rightarrow (1, -4).
4. West 1\displaystyle 1 km (0,4)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, -4).
