Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there were trying to find out the displacement we would use the Pythagorean theorem to find the displacement a² + b²=c² we know the car goes 20 km south and 20 km west when you draw it out it should look like a triangle, you'll be finding the length of the hypotheses pug in 20² + 20²=c² 400 + 400=c² √800 = √c which gives you

28.28
