A man goes 24 m due west and then 10 m due north. Then the distance of him from the starting point is
-
- 17 m
- 26 m
- 28 m
- 34 m
- 17 m
Correct Option: B
As per the given in question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC
∠ABC = 90°
Given , AB = 24 metre , BC = 10 metre
∴ AC = √AB² + BC²
AC = √24² + 10²
AC = √576 + 100
AC = √676 = 26 metre
