A body moves 6 m due North, 8 m due East and 10 m vertically upwards. The distance travelled by the body is                                                                       

Solution:

Let a body started at A

Travelled AB = 6m in north direction

Travelled BC = 8m towards east direction

Travelled CD = 10m vertically upward

Total distance = AB + BC + CD

= 6 + 8 + 10 = 24m

The distance travelled by the body $\text{=}24\text{m}$
