Answer:

11.66 meters

Explanation:The distance is the total distance she walked which is 16 meters adding the 6 meters to the corner and 10 meters to her friend's apartment. Her displacement is the distance from her original starting point so you set up a triangle with side lengths of 6 and 10 and solve for the hypotenuse which gives you a displacement of 11.66 meters.

Answer:

11.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

should be somewhere around 11.6 because

a²+b²=c²

so 6²+10²=136

now find the square root √136

=11.6

11.6²=136
