A drone flies 20 m East, then turns left and flies 15 m North, then turns right and flies 10 m East. What is its final distance from the starting point?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Solution:

  • Eastward distance = 20 + 10 = 30 m

  • Northward distance = 15 m

  • Final distance from starting point:

302+152=900+225=1125=155≈33.54m302+152=900+225=1125=155≈33.54 m302+152=900+225=1125=155≈33.54 m\sqrt{30^2+15^2} =\sqrt{900+225} =\sqrt{1125} =15\sqrt5\approx 33.54\text{ m}

Therefore, the final distance from the starting point is 155m15\sqrt5 m
