Answer:

Distance between two town=squareroot(square36-0+square15-0)=square root1071=32.7

Solution: In particular, the distance of a point (x, y) from the origin is given by

√

x

2

+

y

2

So, let 36 be x and 15 be y

Hence,

√

units

Now, as discussed in Section 7.2 in the book, town B is 36 east and 15 north from the town A. Thus, distance between town A and B will be equal to 39 unit. If distance is measured in km, then distance will be equal to 39 km
