Question

a man goes 35 m due west and then 12 m North how far is he from the starting point

Answer 1

heya,

here using by Pythagoras theorm we can find distance from starting to ending point .

let he goes in p in West direction

and b in North direction.

then he will cover h distance .

so,applying Pythagoras theorm

h=√35^2+12^2

h=√1225+144=√1369=37

he goes 37m .


hope it help you..

Answer 2

in this question make a right angle triangle. ABC where AB base AC is perpendicular and CB is hypotenuse
given Ab= 12 AC=35 FIND BC


THEN USE PYTHAGOREAN THUEROM

BC=√(AB)²+(AC)²

BC=√(12)²+(35)²

BC=√144+1225

BC=√1369


BC=37. ANSWER
