Question 1
A person starts from point O and walks 16m North, then 25m East, then 15m North. What is his straight line distance from point O?
Step-by-step:
1. Track movements: 16m North, then 25m East, then 15m North
2. Net position: (25, 31)
3. Distance = √(25² + 31²) = √1586 = 40 m
1. Track movements: 16m North, then 25m East, then 15m North
2. Net position: (25, 31)
