Question

We went for a picnic. In the morning we took a long route and covered a distance of $78.970km$and in the evening we took the shortest route and covered $59.28km$. Find out the total distance covered?

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question, we have to find out the total distance covered by us in picnic. In the morning we took the longest route while in evening we took the shortest route. To find the total distance covered, we will have to add both of them.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the morning, we covered the longest route.
i.e. we travelled $ = 78.970km = 78970m$ while going to picnic.
In the evening, we covered the shortest route.
i.e. we travelled $ = 59.28km$.
$\therefore $Total distance covered by us $ = $(longest route $ + $shortest route)
${
   = \left( {78.970 + 59.28} \right)km \\
   = 138.250km \\
} $
$\therefore $We covered $138.250km$ all total.

Note: DIstance is measured in km, m, cm, etc.
1km = 1000m
1m= 100cm

Consider a person who started his journey at A. From A he travelled to B and from B he travelled to C. The the distance = AB+BC
Displacement(Shortest distance from the starting point to the ending point) Displacement= AC
