Question

A person travelled 3m north and then he travelled 12m east and then, travelled 2m north. Find the total distance and displacement travelled

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

TOTAL DISTANCE = 3m + 12m + 2m

                               = 17m

TOTAL DISPLACEMENT =

$a^{2}$ + $b^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

$5^{2}$ + $12^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

25 + 224 = $c^{2}$

249 = $c^{2}$

$\sqrt{249}$ = c

$\sqrt{249}$ meter is the displacement
