Question

Starting from point A, Sid walks 12 m towards North and then he turns right and walks 12 m. Then,
he turns right and walks 3 m. How far, and in which direction, is Sid now with respect to the starting
point?​

Answer 1

Answer:

My Answer is 12 ° north and 3°noet east

Answer 2

Required answer:-

Refer to attachment -1)

Steps Taken by Sid according to directions in 2)

• 12 m towards North.
• he turn right and walks 12 m.
• He again turns right and walks 3 m.

It means AC = 12 m, CD = 12 m and DE = 3 m. Then, BE = 12 m, AB = 12 m - 3 m = 9 m.

In right angled ∆ABE,

➛ AB² + BE² = AE²

➛ 9² + 12² = AE²

➛ AE = √225 m

➛ AE = 15 m.

Here, A is the Initial/Starting point and E is the final point. With respect to directions, E is in the North-east (NE) direction of A.

Hence,

The distance between the starting and final point and the direction is:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \red{ \sf{15m, \: North - east}}}}$
