Answer 2

Provided that:

• A man goes 12 m towards North.

• Then he goes 5 m towards East.

To determine

• The displacement

Solution:

• The displacement = 13 m

Using concept:

• Phythagoras theorm

Using formula:

• ${\small{\underline{\boxed{\pmb{\sf{(Hypotenuse)^{2} \: = (Perpendicular)^{2} \: + (Base)^{2}}}}}}}$

Required solution:

»»» (Hypotenuse)² = (Perpendicular)² + (Base)²

»»» (H)² = (12)² + (5)²

»»» (H)² = 144 + 25

»»» (H)² = 169

»»» H = √169

»»» H = 13 m

»»» Hypotenuse = 13 m

• Hence, displacement = 13 m!
