Answer:
72.98 km
Explanation:
Her displacement is simply the distance from her final position to her initial position.
Now, I've drawn and attached a triangle diagram to depict this her movement.
Point O is her initial starting point.
Point A is the first point she gets to after travelling north while point B is the final point after travelling north east.
From the triangle, the displacement will be the distance OB which is denoted by x and can be solved from cosine rule.
Thus;
x² = 62² + 26² - 2(62 × 26)cos 120
x² = 4520 + 806
x² = 5326
x = √5326
x = 72.98 km
