Question

Mittu walks 20m toward west, takes a right turn and walks 40m. He then takes a left turn and walks 20m. In which
direction and how far is he now from the starting point?​

Answer 1

Answer:

since mittu walks 20m towards west takes a right turn and walks 40m . he takes a left turn and walks 20m

answer : 60m

Answer 2

Answer:

Mittu is 56.57 m away in North West direction from starting point

Step-by-step explanation:

• The diagonal distance in a  right-angled triangle is measured by  Pythagoras theorem.
• The theorem states that the Square of the diagonal in a right angled triangle  is the sum of the square of the other sides.
• It is given by $P^2=H^2+B^2$

Step 1 of 2:

• The diagram of the movement of the Mittu is drawn step-wise with the notation of the distance and the direction as shown in the figure.
• The distance of the mittu from the starting point is given by the diagonal OA

       $Distance=\sqrt{ 40^2+40^2}\\Distance=\sqrt{3200} \\Distance=56.57 m$

• Since the quadrant is 2nd,between West and north direction. The direction of mittu is North West
