Now he turned to his right-hand side and moved 25 m. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point?
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 45 and 25, which are 2025 and 625 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 2650. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 51.47 m. So, the minimum distance here is 51 m.
