Question

A girl walks 200towards east and then she walk 150m north find the girl for staring point

Answer 1

Answer:

The position from starting point is 250 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If the starting point and the ending point is connected, you'll get a triangle.

The line segment from starting point to end point is the hypotenuse.

With the pythagorean theorem,

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

= $200^{2} + 150^{2} = c^{2}$ = $40000 + 22500 = c^{2}$ = $62500 = c^{2}$

=$\sqrt{62500} = c$ = 250 = c

Answer 2

200m towards east

150m towards north

now right angle triangle is formed

let distance from starting point be AB

AB^2 =(200)^2 + (150)^2

AB^2 =40000+ 22500

AB^2 =62500

AB=250
