Somwone plz help me in solving this....

A boy travels 10 m due north amd then 7 m due east. Find the displacement of the boy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope this helps you...............

Explanation:

Displacement of the boy is in the form of a right angled triangle with base 7m and altitude 10m. hence the displacement is the hypotenuses.

Therefore √(100+49)=√149.

the boy is now facing in the south west direction to face his original starting point.

therefore his displacement is √149 in the northeast direction.
