Question

A knight is placed at the origin of the cartesian plane it moves in an L shape what is the expected distance from the origin after 2016 moves

Answer 1

Below in bold.

Explanation:

Using the Pythagoras theorem:

Distance from the origin after 1 move = √(1^2 + 2^2) = √5.

So after 2016 distance is 2016√5 units.

This = 4507.9 units to the nearest tenth,
