  • AD² = AC² + CD² is the formula for finding the distance between two points.
  • The formula is used to find the distance between two points in various scenarios, such as finding the distance between a starting point and an ending point, or finding the distance between two points in a right-angled triangle.

Scenarios

  • A person is 5 km away from a starting point, and the direction from the starting point is North-West.
  • A person is 5 km away from a starting point, and the direction from the starting point is South-East.
  • A person walks 3 km north, then 4 km east, and then 1 km south. The direction from the starting point is North-West.
  • In a right-angled triangle, AC = 1 km, BC = 4 km, and AB² = AC² + BC². The distance between A and B is 5 km.
  • A person walks 20 m east, then 40 m south, and then 20 m west. The direction from the starting point is South-East.
  • A person walks 10 m north, then 20 m west, and then 10 m south. The direction from the starting point is West.

Initial Directions

  • Initial direction can be North, South, East, or West.
  • A turn to the left or right can change the direction from North, South, East, or West.

Conversions

  • North + 135° anticlockwise = West
  • West + 135° anticlockwise = South-East
  • East + 90° clockwise = South
  • North + 90° clockwise = East
  • North + 45° anticlockwise = North-West
  • East + 45° anticlockwise = North-East

Clock Directions

  • At 12:00, the hour hand is at North.
  • At 2:45, the hour hand is at East.
  • At 4:30, the hour hand is at South-East.
  • At 12:30, the minute hand is at South.

Miscellaneous

  • In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
  • The direction of a point from another point can be North, South, East, West, North-East, North-West, South-East, or South-West.
