Correct Answer: 10
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
In the above figure, A is the starting point and D is the endpoint. So, AD is the distance between the starting point and the endpoint.
AE = BC = 6 feet
DE = CD – CE = 28 – 20 = 8 feet
By using Pythagoras' theorem in triangle AED –
AD
2
= DE
2
+ AE
2
AD
2
= 8
2
+ 6
2
AD
2
= 64 + 36
AD
2
= 100
AD = 10 feet
So, the distance from the starting point is 10 feet. Hence, the third option is correct.
