Question

Hulk left home and walked 8 blocks west. Then he turned and walked 6 blocks north. If each block is 500 ft long, how far is Hulk from home?

Answer 1

Hulk walked 8 block in West and then turned and walked 6 blocks to North...

now applying Pythagoras

8^2+6^2 = Hypotenous^2;

By solving this ; we get

Hypotenous = 10 blocks;

Each block is 500 ft long;

so 10 blocks = 10*500 ft;

5000 ft far is hulk from home
