Solution

If Candace walk the sideways


\begin{gathered} distance=20+40 \\ \\ distance=60 \end{gathered}

If Candace walks through the park


\begin{gathered} distance=√(20^2+40^2) \\ \\ distance=45 \end{gathered}

The distance or meters Candace saw when he walks through the park is


60-45=15

Therefore, the answer is 15
