Question

8. A man goes 10 m due east and then 24 m due north. Find the distance from the
starting point.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the initial position of the man be O and his final position be B. Since the man goes 10 m due east and then 24 m due north. Therefore, ∆AOB is a right triangle right-angled at A such that OA = 10 m and AB = 24 m.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from the starting point

= √10²+24²

= √100+576

= √676

= 26
