उत्तर
Here, we need to measure the distance AB as shown in the figure below,
Pythagoras theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the remaining two sides.
Therefore, in this case
AB2 = BC2 + CA2
AB2 = 502 + 402
AB2 = 2500 + 1600
AB2 = 4100
AB = 64.03
Therefore the required distance is 64.03 m.
