Question

A plane flies northwards for 430km. It then flies eastwards for 380km. How far is it from its starting point?

Answer 1

Answer:

570 km far from star ting point

Answer 2

You may find the attachment below for understanding through the diagram  (where, O is the starting point)

Now, Using pythagoras theorum

OA² + AB² = OB²

430² + 380² = OB²

184900 + 144400 = OB²

OB² = 329300

OB = 574 km (approx.)

Therefore, the distance of plane from starting point is 574 km.
