Answer:
The ant travels a distance of 8 cm in a straight line from p to q and then moves 6 cm perpendicularly to the line pq.
Then the resultant displacement of the ant from p is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle that is created by this movement.
Therefore, as per the mathematical formula, hypotenuse2 = 82 + 62 = 100.
Hence, the displacement of the ant = √100 = 10 cm, which is the longest side of a triangle.
