Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 45 and 30, which are 2025 and 900 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 2925. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 54.07 m. So, the minimum distance here is 54 m.
Q 9 - Saroj started to walk towards West in an open field and stopped after moving 60m. Now she turned to her right-hand side and moved 30 m. How much minimum distance she has to cover to reach his starting point?
