Question

.Kareena travels 5 km straight followed by 12 km towards her right. What is the distance between the starting and the final position of Kareena?

Answer 1

Answer:13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Kareena travels 5 km straight and 12 km right

so joining the starting point and end points

figure formed is a right angled triangle

So the two sides are 12 km and 5 km

And the distance between them is its hypotenuse

Therefore, by Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse^2 = 12^2 + 5^2

=144+25

=169

Hypotenuse = root 169

=13

So the distance between starting and final position is 13 km
