Question

A crow sitting on the top of a pole 10 m high flies to take a piece of bread
lying at a distance of 24m from the foot of the pole. What is the shortest
distance that it has to fly?​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is 26 M

Step-by-step explanation:

given: Distance b/w foot of pole and bread = 24m

height of pole = 10m

Now, visualise a right triangle with crow as A,

foot of pole as B, and bread as C...

Now, by using Pythagoras theorem,

AC = 24^2 + 10^2 whole square root....

AC = 576 + 100 whole square root => 26m

Therefore, the least distance that crow needs to fly is 26m...
