Question
A lady facing North turns 900 in the clockwise direction and walks 10m, then she turns 1800 in the anti-clockwise direction and walks 3m. How far is she from her initial point?8m7m6m5m
Solution
The lady starts facing North.
Step 1: She turns 90 degrees clockwise. This means she is now facing East.
Step 2: She walks 10m. This means she is now 10m East of her starting point.
Step 3: She turns 180 degrees anti-clockwise. This means she is now facing West.
Step 4: She walks 3m. This means she is now 7m East of her starting point (because she walked 3m West from a point 10m East of her starting point).
So, the lady is 7m away from her initial point.
