N Ι Ι ____ Ι______ E Ι W Ι S

Draw a rough diagram according to the given data in the problem,

we get a right angled triangle ,

distance traveled towards North = 24 m

distance traveled towards East = 10 m

distance from the starting point =Joining the to end points

Hypotenuse of the right triangle

using Pythagoras Theorem ,

( Hypotenuse )² = ( base )² + ( height )²

= ( 10 )² + ( 24 )²

= 100 + 576

= 676

= ( 26 )²

Now required distance from starting point =√ ( Hypotenuse )²

=√(26)²

= 26 m
