Q. Wo people were walking in opposite directions.both of them walked 6 miles forward then took right and walked 8 miles.how far is each from starting positions?

Option
a) 14 miles and 14 miles
b) 10 miles 10 miles
c) 6 miles 6 miles

• if you draw the diagram it will look something like this and we get 2 right angle triangle and using pythgoras theoram we can get 10m and 10m.

• option B
  it makes two same right angle triangles.
  hypotenuse will b 10miles.

• Distance traversed by each would be Square root(6^2 + 8^2) = 10.
  Therefore option b) 10 miles 10 miles is right.

• We can use the Pythagoras theorem to find the distance of them from their starting point.
  
  1 person :
  6^2 + 8^2 = OB^2
  √36+64 = OB
  √100= OB
  10 = OB...
  The distance of first person from his starting point is 10 miles.
  
  Similarly the distance of second person from his starting point is 10 miles.
