Question

Extra questions:
A girl travels the distance of 10m towards south and then she turns towards east and travels 12m
in that direction. Calculate 1) total distance travelled by the girl and2.displacement of the girl.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total distance =10m+12m=22m

Displacement is equal to the length of the straight line joining the end and the start points.

Now joining the start and the end point would give us a triangle. And the displacement would be equal to tge length of hypotenuse of the triangle.The distances 10 m and 12 m would pe perpendicular and base.

Hence by Pythagoras theoram

displacement=

$\sqrt{ {10}^{2} + {12}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{244 } \\ = 15.62m$

Answer 2

Answer:

15.62 is your answer......
