2. ______________ forms the back bone of democracy.
3. ______________ is a standardized symbol allocated to a political party.
Answer:
the distance between the starting position and the present position = 10 m
Step-by-step explanation:
refer to the image attached
AB = 17m towards north
BC = taking left turn and 8m
CD = taking a right turn and 5m,
DE = 16 m towards east
EF = taking a right turn and 16 m
from the image we can understand, CD = ER = 5m
⇒ RF = BP = 11m
also, BC = DQ = 8m
⇒ QE = PF = 8m
AB =PB + AP= 17m
⇒ AP = 17 - 11 = 6m
here, APF forms a right triangle, with AP = 6m and PF = 8m
AF is the distance between starting point and present position
use Pythagoras theorem to find side AF
AF² = AP² + PF²
⇒ AF² = 6² + 8²
⇒ AF² = 100
⇒ AF = √100 = 10m
hence, the distance between the starting position and the present position = 10 m
