Question

A person goes 10 m due east and then 30 m due

north. Find the distance from the starting point.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$10 \sqrt{10} \: m \:$

is the distance from the starting point .

Answer 2

Distance between the final and the initial point is calculated by Pythagoras theorem as the distance is hypotenuse of the triangle
So it is Square root of (30^2 +10^2)

Gives square root(1000)
Which is equal to 10 under root(10)
