A than goes 5 km due east, then 5 Ian due south and then 5 km south east. His distance from the starting point is
A) 15 km.
B) 10 km.
C) \( \Large 5 \left(\sqrt{2}+1\right)\ km. \)
D) \( \Large \left(5\sqrt{3}-1\right) km. \)
Correct answer:
C) \( \Large 5 \left(\sqrt{2}+1\right)\ km. \)
Description for Correct answer:
A is the starting point.
D is the finishing point.
To find AD.
From \( \Large \triangle ABC,\ AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2} \)
= \( \Large 5^{2} + 5^{2} = 50 \)
=\( \Large AC = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2} \)
= \( \Large AD = 5 \sqrt{2}+5 = 5 \left(\sqrt{2}+1\right)\ km. \)
