Question

A person walks along the path of a rectangle from point P to point R as shown in the below figure. a) Find the distance travelled by the person.
b) Find out the magnitude of the displacement of the person.
pls answer me correctly fast ​

Answer 1

Answer:

• distance = 7km
• displacement = 5.4 km

Explanation:

(a)

The distance travelled by the person from P to R =

$5 \: km + 2 \: km = 7 \: km$

(b)

The magnitude =

$\: - > \\ PR$

The displacement from P to R = PR =

$PR = \sqrt{ {5}^{2} + {2}^{2} }$

$PR = \sqrt{25 + 4}$

$PR = \sqrt{29}$

$PR = 5.4 \: \: (approx) \: km$
