Question

A man goes 10 m due east and then 24 m due north. How far is he from the starting point?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

We have,

Towards North=24m

Towards East=10m

Using Pythagoras Theorem,

(Hypotenuse) 2 =(base) 2 +(height) 2 with root

=(10) 2+(24) 2

=100+576

=676

=(26) 2

Starting point = (Hypotenuse) 2= (26) 2 with root

=26m

Hence, this is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 is a power
