Problem: In which direction is a person moving if she takes a leave from her home, walks 30 metres in North West direction, then 30 metres in South West direction, 30 metres in South East direction, and turns towards her home?
Solution:To solve this problem, we need to draw a diagram to visualize the directions. Let's assume that the person's home is at point O, and she takes a leave in the North West direction.
Step 1: Walks 30 metres in North West direction
The person walks 30 metres in North West direction, so she reaches point A.
Step 2: Walks 30 metres in South West direction
Now, the person walks 30 metres in South West direction, so she reaches point B.
Step 3: Walks 30 metres in South East direction
Next, the person walks 30 metres in South East direction, so she reaches point C.
Step 4: Turns towards her home
Finally, the person turns towards her home, which is point O. We can see that she needs to walk in the North West direction to reach her home.
Therefore, the person is moving in the North West direction.
