Choices

Choice (4)

a.

30km

b.

20km

c.

18km

d.

22km

Edit

Answer

a.

Explanation

From the Given Information We Can Generate the Figure Given Above

Here, we can see there are two right angles namely ABC and CDE. AE = AC + CE

So, we can apply Pythagoras theorem to find the hypotenuse

Question 20

Write in Short Short Answer▾

A board of 6 ft. 6 inches long is divided into 3 equal parts. What is the length of each part?

Edit

Explanation

So,

So, length of board =

Dividing this length into 3 equal parts, length of each part =

Hence, length of each divided part will be 26 inches or 2 ft. 4 inches.

Question 21

Write in Short Short Answer▾

Two 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?

Edit

Explanation

  • Two people are walking in opposite directions. Both of them walked 6 miles forward, then took right and walked 8 miles.
  • Let A is the starting point of person 1. Point B is 6m right to the point A and C is 8m right to the point B. So, C is the ending position of person 1.
  • Let P is the starting position of person 2. Point Q is 6m right to the point P and R is 8m right to the point Q. So, R is the ending position of person 2.
  • Distance between starting and ending position of person 1, i.e.. distance AC can be found by Pythagoras theorem.

  • Same way, distance between starting and ending position of person 2, i.e.. distance PR can be found by Pythagoras theorem.

  • Hence, both people are 10 miles away from their starting position.
