Question

A man goes 6 metre in east and then 8 metre in north direction find the distance from the starting point​

Answer 1

Answer:

10m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here first the man goes 6m east.

Then 8m north.

Then if you join the starting point you will get a right angled triangle with sides 6m and 8m.

Use pythagorus theorum to get 6^2 + 8 ^2 = Hypotenuse^2

100 = Hypotenuse^2

$\sqrt{100}$ = hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 10m

This is the distance he travelled from the starting point.

Hope it helps.
