Answer:

Displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish point 6\sqrt{2} blocks in<u> North-West</u> direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure below shows the movement of person and standard direction taken.

AB represents the movement of person 6 blocks towards north and BC represents the movement of person 6 blocks towards west. A to C defines the distance traveled by the person.

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance covered between two points.

Here, displacement is the distance between point A and C.

Since, angle at B is right angle So, ΔABC is a right angled triangle.

Pythagoras theorem states that in a right angled triangle sum of square of base and perpendicular is equal to the square of hypotenuse.  

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we get

(AC)^2=(AB)^2+(BC)^2

(AC)^2=(6)^2+(6)^2

(AC)^2=36+36

AC=\sqrt{72}

AC=6\sqrt{2}

Thus, displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish point 6\sqrt{2} blocks in <u>North-West</u> direction.

Help me plz I can’t figure it out
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

m = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The context is very important, the 'm' represents the minutes late the parents are and from this we can eliminate some options :

- The last one because then a parent would drop their child off earlier

- The first one and the third one because it is too long
