Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the vertex to the base is a perpendicular bisector.
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle on the right.
( x )² + 3² = (
)² , that is
x² + 9 = 45 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x² = 36 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = = 12
The distance covered by the motorcycle is 31.4 km and displacement will be equal to 0.
<h3>What is Distance and Displacement ?</h3>Distance and Displacement both are the measure of the movement of an Object from one point to another.
Distance is a scalar quantity while Displacement is a vector quantity , and so it depends upon direction.
Distance travelled will always be positive but Displacement can be positive , negative and zero.
A motorcycle rides from point P to Q to R to S and finally to P in a circular path as shown in the below figure
The missing figure is attached with the answer.
(a) The distance covered by the motorcycle is
2πr = 2 * 3.14 * 5 = 31.4 km
(b) The displacement will be equal to 0 as the starting and the ending point is same.
