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.

John bought a bag of lawn fertilizer that will cover 289 square feet. What
erik [133]

Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of lawn fertilizer covers 289 square feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover.

Area of a square lawn = length^2

Area of the square lawn = 289 square feet

Area of a square lawn = length^2

289 = length^2

Find the square root of both sides

√289 = √length^2

17 = length

Length = 17 feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover = 17 feet by 17 feet
