Question

Shyam is on top of a building of 80m height waving at his friend Ram who is 60m away from the building. what is the direct distance between Ram and Shyam?

• A. 100m
• B. 130m
• C. 70m
• D. 50m

Answer 1

The correct option is A

100m

We need to find the hypotenuse of the Triangle created by the Building height and Distance between Ram and building.

Given, Building height = 80m

Distance between Building and Ram = 60m

Direct distance = $\sqrt{{60}^2+{80}^2}=100\to 100m$
