Question

A jogger runs 300m due west and then turns and runs 500m due south. what is her total displacement

Answer 1

The answer for his displacement is 583m,S59°W

Step-by-step explanation:

hyp²=opp²+adj²

x²=300²+500²

x²=340000

take square root of both sides

x≈583

using SOH CAH TOA

tany=opp/adj

tany=500/300

y=tan‐¹(5/3)

y≈59°
