Question

An ant travels a distance of 8cm from P to Q and then moves a distance of 6cm at right angles to PQ. Find its resultant displacement​

Answer 1

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. ... Hence, the displacement of the ant = √100 = 10 cm, which is the longest side of a triangle

Answer 2

Answer:

10 cm

Explanation:

Resultant Distance is the length of initial point and final point irrespective of the pathway. So, here if we draw the line we'll get a right angled triangle with 8cm as the base and 6 cm as height and the hyp is our required resultant. By applying Pythagoras theorem we get 10 cm as our desired answer.
