Solution

The girl is now in the South-East direction with respect to her school.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. The girl starts at her school and walks 17m in the East direction.

  2. She then takes a right turn. In the context of her current direction (East), a right turn would lead her to the South.

  3. She walks 10m in this new direction (South).

  4. Therefore, with respect to her school, she has moved in a combination of East and South directions.

  5. This combination of directions is called South-East. So, she is now in the South-East direction with respect to her school.
