Question

A boy goes 5 m towards east, 4 m towards north and 2 m towards west. Calculate the distance and displacement covered by him.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance covered by the boy = 5 m + 4 m + 2 m = 11 m

The displacement covered by the boy = √{3^{2}+4^{2}  }  

                                                                = 5 m
