Question

Victor's bedroom is 4 meters long and 3 meters wide. Starting at the far left corner, Victor walks down the length, across the width, and then diagonally back to the far left corner. How far does Victor walk?'

Answer 1

12meters

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

Length= 4 meters

Width= 3 meters

Let us find the diagonal by applying Pythagoras theorem

`z^2= x^2+y^2\\\\z^2= 4^2+3^2\\\\z^2= 16+9\\\\z^2= 25\\\\`

z=√25

z= 5meters

Step two:

Hence the total distance Victor has covered is

total= 4+3+5

total= 12meters
