Question

Starting from a point 'M', Harish walked 18 m towards South. He turned to his left and walked 25m. He then turned to his left and walked 25 m. He then turned to his left and walked 18 m. He again turned to his left and walked 35 m and reached a point 'P'. How far is Harish from the point 'M' and in which direction?​

Answer 1

Harish 28.86 south east from the point 'M'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting from a point 'M', Harish walked 18 m towards South and reached at point A.

He turned to his left and walked 25m and reached at point B.

He then turned to his left and walked 25 m and reached at point C.

He then turned to his left and walked 18 m  and reached at point D.

He again turned to his left and walked 35 m and reached a point 'P'.

Let point ME⊥DP.

$EP=DP-ED=35-7=28$

$ME=AB-CD=25-18=7$

Pythagoras theorem:

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{perpendicular^2+base^2}$

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{ME^2+EP^2}$

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{7^2+28^2}$

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{833}$

$hypotenuse=28.8617393793$

$hypotenuse\approx 28.86$

Therefore, Harish 28.86 south east from the point 'M'.
