Question

Baani goes 10m due east and then 24 m due north. The distance of Baani from the starting point is *​

Answer 1

we get a right angled triangle ,

distance traveled towards North = 24 m

distance traveled towards East = 10 m

distance from the starting point =Joining the to end point

= Hypotenuse of the right triangle

(By using Pythagorean Triplets)...

We have,

Towards North=24m

Towards East=10m

Using Pythagoras Theorem,

$10^{2} +24^{2}$

=100+576

=676

=$26^{2}$
