Question

a train runs 120km in West direction, 30km in South direction and then 80km In east direction before reaching the station. in which direction is the station from the trains starting point?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The train is 50 km south -west of its starting point

You need to draw the lines or the diagram as the direction of train.

So, now as train goes 120km in west ,30 km in south and again 80 km in east direction, connect the points from where it starts to where it ends.

You will get a right angle triangle so now we know two sides of that triangle i.e. 30km and 40 km. So, now using Pythagoras theorem we get distance as 50km south-west.
