Answer:
Distance from start point is 72.5km
Explanation:
The attached Figure shows the plane trajectories from start point (0,0) to (x1,y1) (d1=40km), then going from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) (d2=56km), then from (x2,y2) to (x3,y3) (d3=100). Taking into account the angles and triangles formed (shown in the Figure), it can be said:
Using the Pitagoras theorem, the distance from (x3,y3) to the start point can be calculated as:
Replacing the given values in the equations, the distance is calculated.
