Answer:
10.2 km
Explanation:
Displacement is the shortest distance from your original position after movement.
Now, the Zambeef delivery truck moves 18 km north and then 10 km east and then 16 km south.
This means that vertically the truck is 2km short of the 18 km he travelled north..
So we can find the displacement using pythagoras theorem..
Let d be the distance from the current position to the initial position.
Thus;
d² = 2² + 10²
d² = 4 + 100
d = √104
d ≈ 10.2 km
I have attached a diagram showing the direction of this displacement
