From the question, we can deduce the following:

• The bike moves 15 km south

,

• Then moves 3 km east.

Let's determine the displacement.

The displacement refers to change in the initial position of an object.

To find the displacement, apply Pythagorean Theorem:

$d=\sqrt[]{15^2+3^2}$

SOlving further:

$\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{225+9} \\ \\ d=\sqrt[]{234} \\ \\ d=15.3\operatorname{km} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the displacement is 15.3 km south east

ANSWER:

15.3 km
