Answer:
Displacement of the car, XY = 81.92 km
Explanation:
From the attached figure,
OX = 64.9 km (in north direction)
OY = 50 km (in west direction)
We have to find the displacement of the car. The shortest path covered by a car is called displacement of the car. Here, XY shows the displacement of the car :
Using Pythagoras equation as :
[tex]XY^2=OX^2+OY^2[/tex]
[tex]XY^2=(64.9\ km)^2+(50\ km)^2[/tex]
XY = 81.92 km
Hence, the displacement of the car is 81.92 km.
