Question

leela walks 8m west and 15 m north to reach the opposite corner of a rectangular field lovleen walked from the same poin diagonal to the opposite corner. what is the distance walked by lovleen

Answer 1

Using Pythagorean Theorem,
AC² = AB² + BC²
AB = 8 m, AB² = 64 m²
BC = 15 m, BC² = 225 m²
Therefore,
AC = √(AC² + BC²)
AC = √(64 + 225)m²
AC = √(289 m²)
AC = 17 m.
