Question 1

A person walks 8 m North, then 6 m East. What is the straight-line distance from the starting point?
Step-by-step:
1. These are perpendicular movements
2. Straight-line distance = √(8² + 6²) = √100 = 10 m

Question 2

From point X, a person goes 24 m East, then 10 m North. What is the shortest distance from point X?
Step-by-step:
1. The path forms a right triangle
2. Shortest distance = √(24² + 10²) = √676 = 26 m

Question 3

From point X, a person goes 7 m East, then 24 m North. What is the shortest distance from point X?
Step-by-step:
1. The path forms a right triangle
2. Shortest distance = √(7² + 24²) = √625 = 25 m

Question 4

A person walks 5 m North, then 12 m East. What is the straight-line distance from the starting point?
Step-by-step:
1. These are perpendicular movements
2. Straight-line distance = √(5² + 12²) = √169 = 13 m

Question 5

A person walks 9 m North, then 12 m East. What is the straight-line distance from the starting point?
Step-by-step:
1. These are perpendicular movements
2. Straight-line distance = √(9² + 12²) = √225 = 15 m

Question 6

From point X, a person goes 7 m East, then 24 m North. What is the shortest distance from point X?
Step-by-step:
1. The path forms a right triangle
2. Shortest distance = √(7² + 24²) = √625 = 25 m

Question 7

A person walks 12 m North, then 16 m East. What is the straight-line distance from the starting point?
Step-by-step:
1. These are perpendicular movements
2. Straight-line distance = √(12² + 16²) = √400 = 20 m

Question 8

From point X, a person goes 3 m East, then 4 m North. What is the shortest distance from point X?
Step-by-step:
1. The path forms a right triangle
2. Shortest distance = √(3² + 4²) = √25 = 5 m

Question 9

From point X, a person goes 8 m East, then 6 m North. What is the shortest distance from point X?
Step-by-step:
1. The path forms a right triangle
2. Shortest distance = √(8² + 6²) = √100 = 10 m
