Question

A man goes 35 m due north and then 12 m due east. how far is he from the starting point?​

Answer 1

SOLUTION ✌️

the north direction and the east are at 90 °angle so far ....

therefore...it will make a right angled triangle...

now..the actual distance is..

$= \sqrt{35 {}^{2} + 12 {}^{2} } \: in \: north \: east \: direction \\ =37 \: m \: \: in \: north \: east \: direction$

Answer 2

Answer:

√(35²+12²)=√(1225+144)

=37

As the figure will form a right angled triangle with two sides of 35m and 12m. So simply to find the length of hypotenuse.
