Question

Name: Practice Drawing Vectors 1. Pepito walked 3 m north then walked 5 m west. Draw the resulting vector and calculate how much he traveled. 30 Period: 3​

Answer 1

The distance walked by Pepito is 5.83 m

How to find how much he walked

The scalar showing how much he walked is solved using Pythagoras theorem. Since the distance walked is represented by a right triangle

distance walked² = 3² + 5²

distance walked² = 9 + 25

distance walked² = 34

distance walked = √34

distance walked = 5.83 m
