Question

at take off, a plane flies a 100 km north before turning to fly 200 km East. how far is its destination from where the plane took off

Answer 1

Refer to the attached diagram

Find the diagonal distance from the takeoff to the destination:

a² + b² = c²

100² + 200² = c²

c² = 100² + 200²

c² = 50000

c = √50000

c = 100√5 km

Answer: The place is about 100√5 km away from the destination

Answer 2

Dear student:

We got answer is 224 km.

So, OQ=224 km from destination.
