Question

Joe walks 20 meters (m) towards east. He then, turns left and walks 15m and turns right and walks
another
35m. Finally, he turns right again and walks 15m more. How far is Joe from his starting point?​

Answer 1

Answer:

35 m

Step-by-step explanation:

because he is in west

so 20 m(starting point)+15m (ending point)= 35m

Answer 2

Hence, for Joe the distance between starting and ending point is 55m

Given,

Joe walks 20 meters to the east, turns to the left, and walks 15m.

Then turns to the right and walks another 35m then turns right again and walks 15m more.

To Find,

The distance between starting and ending point.

Solution,

We can solve this numerical question using the following method.

Let's draw the image and denote the points.

We get, AB = 20m, BC=15m, CD=35m, DE=15m.

The final two points are A and E, so the distance is AE.

Now if we try to draw a perpendicular from B to E, we get, BE.

From the picture, it is clear that, BE=AB+BE.

It is clear that, as BC=15m and DE=15m.

So, CD=BE=35m.

∴BE=20+35m=55m.

Hence, for Joe the distance between starting and ending points is 55m.
