raies:
why u made perpendicular??.
East direction will be perpendicular to the north
Here the displacement becomes the hypotenuse
We can solve it using Pythagoras theorem
ok thanx i got

Displacement: Shortest distance travelled by body
North and East are perpendicular to each other.
Displacement covered by body is Hypotenuse of right angled triangle formed.
So, by using Pythagoras theorem
Displacement = √(10² + 20²) = 22.36 km
