Question

Carrie and Alex are playing hide and seek Alex stands at the house to count Carrie runs 25 m west and finds nowhere to hide. She Continues 60 m north to the tree

Answer 1

65m

Explanation:

Since we are not asked what to find, we can as well calculate the displacement of Carrie.

Displacement will be gotten using Pythagoras theorem;

Given

direction through west x = -25m

direction through north y = 60m

Required

Displacement d

According to the theorem;

d² = x²+y²

d² = (-25)²+(60)²

d² = 625 + 3600

d² = 4225

d = √4225

d = 65 m

Hence the displacement of Carrie is 65m
