Question

during a car ride Sandra travel led directly east for 20 miles and then directly south for 15 miles what was her displacement. 25 miles at 59.0 degrees south of east, 25 miles at 25.9 degrees east of south, 25 miles at 36.9 degrees south of east, or 25 miles at 42.5 degrees east of south?

Answer 1

25 miles at 42.5 degrees east of south. (20^2+15^2 =C^2...You get 25 miles...East of South because she traveled a longer distance to the East. Then you find the angle between the original and ending point.) Hope it helps. You may ask me any other questions.
