and Displacement is
$\sqrt{40} m$

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Heya!!

Here's your answer!!!

as the distance covered = 6m towards East and 2m north. so total distance = 8m

and now the

$displacement \: = \sqrt{ {6}^{2} + {2}^{2} } \\ displacement \: = \sqrt{36 + 4 } \\ displacement \: = \sqrt{40} \\ displacement \: = 36.32m$


Glad help you
