Starting from his house Arun moves 5 km to the north east and then 4 k...
To visualize Arun's movements, we can use a coordinate system. Let's assume Arun's house is located at the origin (0,0).
1) Arun moves 5 km to the northeast. This means he travels 5 km in a direction that is 45 degrees northeast of the positive x-axis. Using trigonometry, we can calculate the x and y coordinates of his position after this movement.
x-coordinate = 5 km * cos(45°) = 5 km * 0.707 = 3.535 km
y-coordinate = 5 km * sin(45°) = 5 km * 0.707 = 3.535 km
So after this movement, Arun's position is (3.535, 3.535).
2) Arun then moves 4 km towards the south. This means he travels 4 km in the negative y-axis direction.
x-coordinate remains the same: 3.535 km
y-coordinate = 3.535 km - 4 km = -0.465 km
So after this movement, Arun's position is (3.535, -0.465).
3) Arun moves 3 km towards the east. This means he travels 3 km in the positive x-axis direction.
x-coordinate = 3.535 km + 3 km = 6.535 km
y-coordinate remains the same: -0.465 km
So after this movement, Arun's position is (6.535, -0.465).
4) Arun finally moves 8 km towards the north. This means he travels 8 km in the positive y-axis direction.
x-coordinate remains the same: 6.535 km
y-coordinate = -0.465 km + 8 km = 7.535 km
So after this movement, Arun's position is (6.535, 7.535).
Therefore, Arun reaches his friend's house, located at (6.535, 7.535).
