------
Total north-south = 10-6 = 4 km
Total east-west = 4-4 = 0 km

from the diagram of your north east west and south pole we have 4kmW,6kmS and 4kmE which form the letter T.dont forget the lirry arrives at a point T.4km+6km+4km=14km of T
14km-10kmN=4kmNorth

considering the vertical and horizontal resultant component, you will notice that that of the horizontal is zero(oppositely directed distance).you can now subtract 6 from 10 with the direction in the north.
