Question

Letícia leaves the grocery store and walks 150.0 m to the parking lot. Then, she turns 90° to the right and walks an additional 70.0 m to her car. What is the magnitude of the displacement of her car from the grocery store exit?

Answer 1

Answer:

165.529454

Explanation:

According to the Pythagorean Theorem for calculating the lengths of a right angle triangle's sides, a^2 + b+2 = c^2, where c is the longest side (and the side opposing the right angle). So in your case it would be 150*150 + 70*70 = 27400. And √ 27400 is your answer.
