A man goes 24 m towards east and then 10 m towards north. How far is he away fro his initial position?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 26m
Given that
A man goes 24 m towards the east and then 10 m towards the north
Hence it forms a right-angle triangle
so to Pythagoras' theorem
Distance it from the initial point = √ (242 + 102) = 26 m
