Question

a ship leaves a port and travels 12 km due east then it turns and travels 9 km due north how far is the ship from the port? ( Pls Explain )

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between the ship from the port at the final destination is given by the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle formed. We can get the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle by Pythagorean theorem. Let the hypotenuse by h. Therefore, the ship is 15 km from the port.

Answer 2

Answer:

15 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB = 12 km due east

and let BC = 9 km due north

Now, by joining AC we got a triangle which is right angled as the angle between north and east is 90  degree

By applying pythagoras theorem you will get the answer 15 km
