Question

2. A man goes 5 m in east and then 12 m in north direction. Find the distance from the
starting point.​

Answer 1

Answer:

5m and 12m makes a way like right angled tringle...

so that we can find out the third side = hypotenuse of this right angled triangle.

By Pythagoras Theorem...

h^2 = o^2 + a^2

h^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

h^2 = 25+144

h^2 = 169

h = 13m

hope it helps you

stay safe

Answer 2

Answer:

13 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance will be

√(5²)+(12²)

=√25+144

=√169

=13
