Question

A man goes 35m towards west and then 12m towards north.How for his from the starting point.​

Answer 1

Answer:

37m

Step-by-step explanation:

For this we will first draw a starting point, then roughly draw a line of say 3.5cm towards the west and then draw a rough line of  say 1.2cm towards the north. Remember to label the distance of the lines as 35m and 12m respectively...

Then join his final point and starting point with a dotted line...

Now carefully notice that the figure is a right - angled triangle and the dotted line is a hypotenuse.

Now to find the distance between his final and starting point, we have to find the length of the dotted line that is the hypotenuse.

Now taking the line of 35m as 'a' and the line of 12m as 'b'. Also mark the hypotenuse as 'c'.

According to pythagoras theorem, a²+b² = c²

So, 35² + 12² = c²

So, 1225 + 144 = c²

which means that, 1369 = c² OR c = $\sqrt{1369}$

∴ c = 37m

So, them man is 37m away from his starting point...

So friend, this was your answer...Ifthis helps you then pls mark it as the BRAINLIEST!

Thank You Friend!
