Question

A mountain climbing expedition establishes a base camp and two intermediate camps, A and B. Camp A is 11,200 m east of and 3,200 m above base camp. Camp B is 8,400 m east of and 1,700 m higher than Camp A. Determine the displacement between base camp and Camp B.

Drawing: Math: Resultant:​

Answer 1

Answer: 3275.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

displacement in x direction: 11200 - 8400 = 2800

displacement in y direction: 1700

displacement A - B:

`\sqrt{2800^(2) + 1700^(2) }` = 3275.7
