Answer 2

Given: Manish goes 3 km towards East and then 4 km towards North.

To find: His distance from starting point.

Solution:

If a line was traced according to the path followed by Manish and another line was drawn from his starting point to his final position, it would form a right-angled triangle.

The 3 km towards east would form the base, the 4 km towards north would form the perpendicular and the distance between his initial and final position would form the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Using the Pythagoras Theorem, his distance from starting point can be calculated as follows.

$distance = \sqrt{(3)^{2} + (4)^{2}}$

             $= \sqrt{25}$

             $= 5 km$

Therefore, his distance from starting point is​ 5 km.
