Syam starts from a point A and walks 5 meters towards North direction and reaches point B. From here, he travels 9 meters in East direction and reaches point C. From C, he travels towards South direction and reaches point D after travelling a distance equal to AB. At last, he turns towards West direction and reaches point A. Which geometrical figure has been formed by the path travelled by him?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Rectangular
Syam turns through a right angle at every corner (North to East, East to South, South to West), and his opposite sides are equal: AB = CD = 5 m, and BC = 9 m, which DA must also be for him to get back to A. A four-sided figure with all angles 90° and opposite sides equal is a rectangle.
