Question

Ohn is riding his bicycle along a trail. He then rides 150 feet up.

a. Continue the question for more details.
b. End the question.

Answer 1

a. Ohn is approximately 250 feet from his starting point after riding 150 feet up. If he continues by riding another 200 feet forward, his total displacement will be approximately 250 feet.

b. End the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To calculate the distance from Ohn's starting point after riding 150 feet up, we use the Pythagorean theorem. Let
`\(d\)` be the horizontal distance traveled, and
`\(150\)` be the vertical distance.

The formula
`\(d = √(150^2 + 200^2)\) gives us \(d \approx 250\)` feet. This means Ohn is approximately 250 feet away horizontally from where he started.

2. For the total displacement
`(\(D\)),` considering both the upward and forward distances, we use the Pythagorean theorem again. The formula
`\(D = \sqrt{\text{(upward distance)}^2 + \text{(forward distance)}^2}\)` yields
`\(D \approx 250\)` feet. So, after riding 150 feet up and another 200 feet forward, Ohn's total displacement is approximately 250 feet.

3. Part (b) concludes the question, summarizing the key information provided in part (a). The total displacement gives a holistic measure of Ohn's position, considering both vertical and horizontal components of his bicycle ride.
