RE: A moves 3 kms east from his starting point . He then travels 5 kms north. From that point he moves 8 kms to the east.How far is A from his starting point?
 
THE ANSWER IS 12.08 as 
                   ______________8kms
                  |
                  |5kms
                  |
                  |
---------------
3kms
<---------------------11kms------->

so applying pythegorus theorem we get  90 degree b/w 11kms and 5kms.
so result is 12.083..
