Question

Suzzy starts walking south and after travelling 25 metres, turns left and travels 20 metres. She turns left again and
travels 25 metres. Finally she travels 15 metres, turning to her right. How far and in which direction is she from the
starting point?​

Answer 1

Answer:40 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

Distance walked by Suzzy towards the south direction = 25m

Distance walked by Suzzy by taking a left turn = 20m

Distance walked by Suzzy by again taking a left turn = 25m

Distance walked by Suzzy by taking a right turn = 15m

To find:

The direction and the distance from which she is standing now.

Solution:

Consider north towards the upward direction, south towards the downward direction, east towards the right-hand side and west towards the left-hand side.

Suzzy is travelling towards the south and walks 25m and takes a left turn which is towards the east. She walks in this direction for 20m and again takes a left which is towards the north direction. She walks for 25m in this direction and takes a right turn which is towards the east direction. She walks in this direction for 15m. The distance travelled and the directions are shown as in the figure below:

The distance from the starting point to the finish point = $20+15=35m$

The direction in which Suzzy is standing now is towards the east direction.

Hence, Suzzy is standing at a point 35m towards the east direction from the starting point of her journey.

Suzzy is standing at a point 35m towards the east direction from the starting point of her journey.
