Explanation:
Resultant displacement can be found using the Pythagoras theorem. Resultant displacement will be given by the hypotenuse, if the distance in east direction (i.e.) 1.5+4.5= 6 m is considered as base of the triangle and distance in south direction (i.e.) 2 m is considered as height of the triangle.
