Shikha and Nithya start from the same point. Shikha walks 3 Km in West direction, then turn right and walks for 3 Km. Nithya walks 3 Km in North direction and turns right and walks for 3 Km. Find the distance between Shikha and Nithya now.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer the below attachment for better understanding
Total distance b/w them is 6km
Given:
Shikha and Nithya start from the same point. Shikha walks 3 km in the West direction, then turn right and walks for 3 km. Nithya walks 3 km in the North direction and turns right and walks for 3 km.
To Find:
Find the distance between Shikha and Nithya now.
Solution:
Let the initial coordinates of Shikha and Nithya be (0,0), now
For Shikha, she moves 3km in the west direction that means she moved -3 in the x-axis, now her coordinates will be (-3,0), then she turns right and walks 3km that means she moved +3 in the y-axis, now her final coordinate is (-3,3).
For Nithya, she walks 3km in the north direction that means she moved +3 in the y-axis, now her coordinates are (0,3), then she turns right and moves 3km that means she moved +3 in the x-axis, now her final coordinates are (3,3).
So the distance between them can be calculated by using the distance formula,
Now put the coordinates value in this formula, we have,
Hence, the distance between Shikha and Nithya is 6km.
