Answer 2

Answer:

1.5 k.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine

The south ward movement is 0.9 km is the perpendicular of a triangle

The east ward movement is 1.2km is the base of the triangle

So, according to Pythagoras theoram,

Perpendicular^2 + base ^2 = hypotenuse^2

Applying all values.,

Root over {(0.9) ^2 + (1.2) ^2}= the distance between the herd and the zebra

Root over {8.1 + 14.4} = the distance

The distance = root over{22.5}

The distance is 1.5 k.m

Hope it helps
