Answer 1

Hope it helped you........

Answer 2

The distance between her house and the final destination will be 27.73 Km.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question a girl starts walking for her house

travels 10 km to east,

then 12 km to south,

then 15 km to east.

to solve this question we will draw lines as the question stated

see the picture below:

total 10 + 15 = 25 Km she traveled in East ( it becomes our Base )

and 12 km to south ( it becomes our Perpendicular )

Now, we will find our Hypotenuse ( distance between house and the girl )

using Pythagoras Theorem

(Hypotenuse)² = (Perpendicular)² + (Base)²

Hypotenuse = √Perpendicular²+Base²
