Question

A person starts moving towards East and walked 8 km and then turn left and covered 6 km. How far is he from starting point?
(1) 14 km
(2) 10 km
(3) 12 km
(4) 18 km

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance =under root 8 Square + 6 Square

=under root 64 + 36

=under root100

=10

Answer 2

Answer:

10 KM

Step-by-step explanation:

If you see it, we get a Right triangle.

Hence, Length of Side 1=8 KM

Length of Side 2= 6 KM

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get -

(Side 1 )² + (Side 2)²=Hypotenuse²         [Here, Hypotenuse is the Distance

                                                                 between him and the starting point]

8²+6²=Distance ²

64 + 36=Distance ²

Distance=√100=±10 KM

Since Distance cannot be negative, it is 10 KM
