Answer:
5.0645km
Explanation:
For the first part of the journey where Vail skied 2 km north, 2 km west
displacement = √2² + (-2)²
displacement = √4+4
displacement = √8
displacement = 2√2 km
d1 = 2√2 km
For the second part of the journey where he skeid 1 km north, and 2 km west. How far was she from her starting point?
displacement = √1² + (-2)²
displacement = √1+4
displacement = √5
d2 = √5 km
Total displacement = d1 + d2
Total displacement = 2√2 + √5
Total displacement = 2(1.4142) + 2.2361
Total displacement = 2.8284+ 2.2361
Total displacement = 5.0645km
Hence she was 5.0645km from her starting point
