Question

Snehal goes 10 m east and then 24 m north. Ind the distance between the initial and final positions​

Answer 1

Answer:

26m

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be done using pythogoras theorem

a² + b² = c²

where c is the hypotenuse or the longest side of the triangle

a = 24 , b = 10

24² = 576

10² = 100

576 + 100 = 676 or 26²

Therefore Snehal is 26m away from the starting point.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Towards North=24m

Towards East=10m

Using Pythagoras Theorem,

(Hypotenuse)

=(10)

=100+576

=676

=(26)

Starting point =

(Hypotenuse)

=

(26)
