Question

Aruna is facing towards West, turning to her right
she walks 90 m, then turns right and goes another 195
35 m. Then turning to the right, goes 60 m and then
turning to her left and goes 25 m. How far and in
which direction is she now from her starting point?
ng point?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

She is in East direction and she covered 345m

Answer 2

She is now 67.08 m in the North-East direction from her starting point.

This is solved as follows:

[ There's a typing error in between as 195m and 35m have been mentioned consecutively without any direction details so considering the other distances, we omit 195m and continue with the rest of the information]

*First she is turning towards west and then moving towards the right, means now pointing towards north.

It continues as:

West( Initial point) -------> North ----> East--------->South----->East(Final destination)

[Diagram has been attached below]

To find the distance:

Let's assume a triangle AOB and find the length of AO using Pythagoras theorem.

AO^2 = BO^2 + AB^2

AO^2 = 60^2 + 30^2

So AO = √4500 = 67.08m

So she is at a distance of 67.08m from her initial point.
