Aslam moves 3 kms east from his starting point. He then travels 6 kms north. From that point he moves 5 kms to east. How far is Aslam from his starting point?
Answer: 10
Explanation
Let's break down Aslam's movements:
1. 3 km east
2. 6 km north
3. 5 km east
Total eastward distance = 3 + 5 = 8 km
Aslam's position forms a right-angled triangle with the starting point:
Eastward distance = 8 km (base)
Northward distance = 6 km (height)
Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from the starting point:
distance = √(8² + 6²)
= √(64 + 36)
= √100
= 10 km
