Is there suppose to be an image?
The hypotenuse is measured at 120 meters of string, and you need to solve for the leg of the triangle that is horizontal. The degree is 40, so use trigonometry to figure it out.
Cosin (40) is equal to around .766
Adjacent/Hypotenuse
x/120 = cos40
Answer: 91.92533.
If you use 3 significant figures it should be 91.9 meters.
Given :
Walk in forward direction is 30 m .
Walk in backward direction is 25 m .
To Find :
The distance and displacement .
Solution :
We know , distance is total distance covered and displacement is distance between final and initial position .
So , distance travelled is :
D = 30 + 25 m = 55 m .
Now , we first move 30 m in forward direction and then 25 m in backward direction .
So , displacement is :
D = 30 - 25 m = 5 m .
Therefore , distance and displacement covered is 55 m and 5 m respectively .
Hence , this is the required solution .
