Question

man goes 20 m due East and then 15 m
South Find the distance between his
starting point and terminating point​

Answer 1

25m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between starting and terminating point be x m.

By Pythagoras theorum,

x² = 20²+15²

x = (625)½ = +-25 = 25m

Answer 2

Answer:

Its forms a Right Triangle so,

Using Pythagoras theorem=

x^2+y^2=z^2

20^2+15^2=z^2

400+225=z^2

625=z^2

25=z

Total distance between starting point and terminating point is 25 m
