Question

A car travels 24 km towards the north and then it turns and travels 7 km towards east. How far is the car from its starting point? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let car starts travelling from point A.

• The car travels 24km from A.
• let north be C.
• when it turns from north it comes to east, tet east be B, do the car tralels from B to C is 7km.
• Since, AB perpendicular to AC.
• So, in ΔABC∠B=90degree.
• AB²+BC²=AC²       (pythagerous theroum)
• (24)²+(7)²=AC²
• 576+49=AC²
• 625=AC²
• √625=AC
• 25=AC
• ∴ AC=25km
