Question

Sanjeev walks 10 metres towards the South. Turning to the left, he walks 20 metres and then moves to his right.
After moving a distance of 20 metres , he turns to the right and walks 20 metres. Finally, he turns to the right and
moves a distance of 10 metres. How far and in which direction is he from the starting point ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The movements of Sanjeev from A to F are as shown in Figure Clearly,

Sanjeev’s distance from starting point A

= AF = (AB + BF) = AB + ( BE – EF ) = AB + (CD – EF)

= [10 + (20 – 10)] m = (10 + 10) m = 20 m.

Also, F lies to the South of A. So, Sanjeev is 20 meters to the south of his starting point.

Answer 2

she is 20 m away from the starting point and is standing in North direction.

she has covered total distance = 80 m
