Answer:
- distance traveled: 30 m
- displacement: 21.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the distance traveled and the displacement after walking 17 m south and 13 m east.
<h3>Distance</h3>
The distance traveled is the sum of the lengths of each leg of the trip:
17 m + 13 m = 30 m
You have traveled a distance of 30 m.
<h3>Displacement</h3>
The displacement is the distance from your final position to your starting position. If you draw a diagram of the journey, you see the displacement is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 17 m and 13 m. The Pythagorean theorem can help you find this length:
h = √(a² +b²)
h = √(17² +13²) = √(289 +169) = √458 ≈ 21.401
At the end of your walking, you are 21.4 m from where you started.
This is really obvious but the answer is 4 feet.
Answer:
Multiply the numbers until you get the same denominator (Bottom number) for both fractions. I will do #1 to show you.
1/3 1/2
Both 3 and 2 go into 6, so I will use that.
When multiplying the bottom , you have to do the same to the top, so...
2/6 OR 3/6
3/6 is greater, so that is the answer.
Therefore, 1/2 is more
Another way you can do this is to draw a pizza, a section off parts of it according to the fractions.
Hope this helped.
