Question

An Ant travels on a right angled triangle PQR from p to r which is 13 m long.then it walks to point q travelling 12m find the displacement and distance travelled by the ant ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

distance traveled=12+13=25m displacement =5m

Explanation:

distance traveled is the actual path taken hence we need to add both the lengths giving us distance=25m

since it is a right angle triangle right angled at Q

hence by applying pythagoras theorem

pr^2=qr^2+pq^2

qr is the displacement as it is the shortest distance between the final and initial point

qr^2=(13)^2-(12)^2

qr^2=25

qr=5m

Answer 2

Answer:

DISTANCE TRAVELLED 12+13=25 M

DISPLACEMENT = 5M
