Question

A man goes 8 m to the East and then 6 m to the North direction.
Find his distance from the starting point.​

Answer 1

the distance from the starting point is 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

8+6= 12m

Answer 2

Answer:

10m

Step-by-step explanation:

let the man stand on point X

he travels 8m towards east so he is 8m away from point X

let the point where he reached after travelling 8m be Y

now he travels 6m towards north from y , now let his present position be Z

distance from X TO Z  = 8^2 + 6^2 = 100

root 100 = 10m

therefore he is 10 metres away from the starting point
