Question

Prateek travelled from a point A to B, a distance of 12 km. He turned right and travelled 8 km and
reached point C. From that point took right turn and travelled 6 km, and reached point D. How far
is he away from the starting point?

Answer 1

Answer:

26 Kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

A to B=12km

B to C:8km

C to D:6km

Therefore,A to D must be added

Therefore,26kms

Answer 2

10km

Step-by-step explanation:

From A to B he travels 12km

turn right he travels 8km

turns right he travels 6km

let us assume E be a point between A and B

according to pythagoras theorem,  

$√8^2+6^2 = √AD^2√64+36 = √AD^2√100 = √AD^2$

AD = 10km

he is 10km away from the starting point
