place which is 5 miles straight NORTH. He then travels to his grandparents'
which is 5 miles straight WEST from his parent's house. What is the total
distance of Jake's Journey? What is the total displacement of Jake's
Journey?*
Distance 10 Miles: Displacement 10 Mlles

Distance 5 Miles: Displacement 5 miles

Distance 10 miles: Displacement 7.07 miles

Distance 5 miles : Displacement 7.07 miles

Respuesta :

Answer:

Distance 10 miles: Displacement 7.07 miles  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's depict Jake's journey on the Cartesian coordinate axis. Let Jake initially be at the point (0 ; 0 ) . Then you can determine how far from the starting point (0; 0) it has moved away (displacement ). According to the Pythagorean theorem , we will find it He walked 10 miles And displacement is found by the Pythagorean theorem
[tex]\bf displacement = \sqrt{5^2+5^2} =\sqrt{50} \approx 7.07m[/tex]
Then the answer is : Distance 10 miles: Displacement 7.07 miles
