Question

Ravi walks 24km to the east and then 7 km to the north. Find the distance between the starting point and final position?​

Answer 1

A right angled triangle is formed with:

base is 24km towards east

height is 7km towards north

So by Pythagoras theorem his distance is:

d=\sqrt{(24km)^2+(7km)^2}

d=\sqrt{576km^2+49km^2}

d=\sqrt{625km^2}

d=25km

He traveled 25km
