Question

Rama starts walking toward north. After walking 10m, he turns toward south. After walking 20m, he
turns toward west and walks 15m. He then turns toward north and walks 5m. In what direction and
how far is he with respect to his starting point?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In South west direction about 15.81 km

Step-by-step explanation:

10m          ↑ walking towards north

                ° Ram starting point

5m ↑   ←  ↓ Turn towards south 20m. From top its 10m

  15m

He turns towards west 15m

Clearly from the above diagram From starting point Ram stand in South west direction

How far is he with respect to starting point It makes right angle triangle

                  ║ 5m

      ⇵    ↔

             15m

According to Pythagoras theorem c = √(a² + b²)

c = √(15² + 5²)

c = √(225+25)

c = √250

c = 15.81 m
