Question

Tom starts at point A and then walk 3km east to point B and then walks 4km north to point C calculate the bearings and distance of point C to point A

Answer 1

5km

Explanation:

Please check the attached image for a diagram explaining this question

The distance from A to C can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

3² + 4²

= 16 + 9

= 25

determine the square root of 25

√25 = 5km
