Answer 1

Answer:

Hope this helps you .....

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered by Leela will be 8m + 15m

                                                       = 23 m

Distance covered by Lovely will be

By Pythagoras Theorem ,

Distance travelled by Lovely =  Square root of 8 square + 15 square

                                               = Square root of 64 +225

                                               = Square root of 289

                                               = 17 m

Therefore Leela travelled more by 23 - 17 , i.e. 6m
