Question

A man starts from a point and goes in 10 metres towards east then he turns towards north goes 24 metre and finally stopped find the distance between starting point and endpoint

Answer 1

He forms a right angled triangle with base=10m and height=24 m and the distance between starting point and end point is equal to the hypotenuse of this triangle.
(hypotenuse)^2=(base)^2+(height)^2
So (hypotenuse)^2=(10)^2+(24)^2=676
hypotenuse=√676=26m
So the distance between starting point and end point is =26m.
