Step 1: Track the movement coordinates
Let's treat the starting point as the origin $(0,0)$.
1. Walks East 75m $\rightarrow$ Current position is $(75, 0)$.
2. Turns left (now facing North) and walks 25m $\rightarrow$ Current position is $(75, 25)$.
3. Turns left (now facing West) and walks 40m $\rightarrow$ Current position is $(75 - 40, 25) = (35, 25)$.
4. Turns left (now facing South) and walks 25m $\rightarrow$ Current position is $(35, 25 - 25) = (35, 0)$.

Step 2: Calculate the final distance
He ends up precisely at coordinates $(35, 0)$. The straight-line distance from the origin $(0,0)$ to $(35, 0)$ is exactly 35 metres.

Final Answer: 35 metres
