Question

Answer as directed priya starts from a and travels 15m towards west, then she travels 10m towards south. From here she turned towards east and travels 15m and then turns towards north and travels 15m. How far and in which direction is she from a

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:5meter north from A

Answer 2

Priya is 5 meters North of 'a'.

GIVEN

Distance traveled to the west = 15m

Distance traveled to the south = 10 m

Distance traveled to the east = 15 m

Distance traveled to the north = 15 m

TO FIND

The distance traveled.

The direction of Priya from the starting point 'a'

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows;

it is given,

The starting point of the Priya is, 'a'

Let the distance traveled to west be, 'b'

so,

ab = 15 m

The distance traveled to south be, 'c'

So,

bc = 10m

The distance traveled to the east be, 'd'

so,

cd = 15m

The distanced traveled to the north be, 'e'

So,

de = 15m

We have to find out how far Priya is from her starting position, 'a'.

This means we have to calculate the displacement of Priya.

Displacement = Distance from final to the initial position.

= a to e

we know that,

bc = da = 10 m

and,

de = 15 m

so,

ae = de - da

ae = 15 - 10 = 5 m

Hence, Priya is 5 meters North of 'a'.
