Question

Is going 500 m towards east first and then coming 200 m back, same as going 200 m towards west first and then coming 500 m back?​

Answer 1

Answer:

That is true :)

Because  east and west are two opposite directions

so when going 500 m east and then coming 200 m back , we are at 500-200 = 300m east   ......(1)

and in other case

Going 200 m west and then coming 500 back , we are at 200 -500 = 300 m east   ........ (2)

So in both cases, we are 300 m
