Sveda starts walking from her office. She first walks 10 meters south. She then tums left
and walks 60 meters. Then she turns right and walks 30metres after which she makes another
right tumn and walks a further 30 meters. In which direction and how many meters away is Syeda
from her office
40 meters south of her office
B. 50 meters south east of her office
€ 50 meters south west of her office
D 40 meters cast of her office
Answers
Answer:
Sveda's final position will be 50 meters southwest of her office.
Explanation:
At first, Sveda covered 10 meters to the south. Then she turned left means, she advanced in the west direction for 60 meters. After that, she made another 30 meters to the south. So the distance Sveda covered to the south is now a total of 40 meters. At last, she walked another 30 meters to the east. So we have to minus 30 from the 60 meters, which she had walked earlier to the west. That will make her resultant movement to the west as 30 meters.
Finally, we can say that Sveda walked 40 meters to the south and 30 meters to the west. Considering this as a right angle triangle ABC (shown in the document attached.), Sveda is now at point 'C' and her office is at point 'A'. We can easily find the hypotenuse using the Pythagoras theorem as 50 meters. So one can say Sveda is 50 meters southwest of her office.
