Question

a man has to go 5 km due south 4 km due west and 2 km north what is the displacement.

Answer 1

The person first goes 5km south, 4 km west and then 2 km north.

So it forms a right angled triangle in which hypotenuse will be displacement and base and altitude are
5-2 = 3km
And 4km.

Hypo^2 = base^2 + altitude^2
Hypo^2 = 3^2+4^2
Hypo^2 = 9+16
Hypo^2 = 25
Hypotenuse = 5km

Therefore displacement is 5 km.

Hope you understand.

Answer 2

first draw triangle take its sides of the distance to go into various directions in the following figure or in the following picture you will see in that the triangle ABC is we can take one side of a 5 km in another side is 4 km and the base is 2 kilometre And The rest step in the picture
