Answer:
distance from starting point is 26 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here using pythagorean theorem is the key
let the distance from starting point be x so,
By pythagoras theorem,
x^2=(10)^2+(24)^2
x^2=100+576
x^2=676
x=26

Towards North=24m
Towards East=10m
Using Pythagoras Theorem,
(Hypotenuse)2=(base)2+(height)2
=(10)2+(24)2
=100+576
=676
=(26)2
Starting point =(Hypotenuse)2
=(26)2
=26m
Hence, this is answer.
