Question 1
From point P, a person walks 9 m East, then 12 m North. What is the shortest distance from point P?
Step-by-step:
1. These movements form a right angle
2. Shortest distance = √(9² + 12²)
3. = √(81 + 144) = √225 = 15 m
1. These movements form a right angle
2. Shortest distance = √(9² + 12²)
3. = √(81 + 144) = √225 = 15 m
