the second duckling is wandering by 2.6 units distance than the first duckling .
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , Two ducklings wander away from the nest while their mother is away. The first duckling's displacement (distance and direction) from the nest is (12,5) The second duckling's displacement is (13,-8) . We need to find How much farther did the second duckling wander than the first duckling. Let's find out:
Let a = (12,5) and b =(13,-8)
The distance each duckling wandered is the magnitude of its displacement vector. Therefore, the expression Distance second duck wandered is given by :

Therefore , the second duckling is wandering by 2.6 units distance than the first duckling .
