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
= hypotenuse
Hypotenuse = 10m
This is the distance he travelled from the starting point.
Hope it helps.
