You walk 45 m to the north, then turn 90 degrees to your right and walk another 45 m. How far are you from where you originally started?
41 m
85 m
45 m
64 m
Please help!
I’m thinking 64 m?
Y = 45m.
X = 45m.
D = sqrt(X^2 + Y^2).
You would need to use pythagoreans thereom in this question. You would need to find the hyp. since you are given the adj. and opp. So the aprox answer would be 64m. This is because you have to square both 45m, add them together. Then find the square root of that.
To find out how far you are from where you originally started, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
In this case, you have walked 45 m to the north and then turned 90 degrees to your right and walked another 45 m. This forms a right triangle with two sides of equal length (45 m) and a right angle. The distance you want to find is the length of the hypotenuse, which represents how far you are from where you originally started.
To use the Pythagorean theorem, you can square the length of one side (45 m) and multiply it by 2. Then take the square root of that value to find the length of the hypotenuse.
Let's do the calculations:
(45^2 + 45^2)^0.5 = (2025 + 2025)^0.5 = (4050)^0.5 = 63.6396...
Rounded to the nearest whole number, you are approximately 64 m away from where you originally started.
So the correct answer is 64 m.
