Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the distances walked by Maria;

  • 3 km west and 4 km south

We are required to determine the displacement from her starting point;

  • We are going to use Pythagoras's theorem;

a² + b² = c²

Taking, the distances towards south and towards west as the legs of the triangle;

Then, c² = 3² + 4²

               = 25

         c  = √25

            = 5 km

Therefore, the displacement from the starting point is 5 km
