[tex]\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{We're trying to find displacement}\\\\\text{We would use the Pythagorean theorem to find the displacement:}\\a^2+b^2=c^2\\\\\text{We know that the car goes 20 km south and 20 km west}\\\\\text{When you draw it out, it should look like a triangle, you would be finding}\\\text{the length of the hypotenuse}\\\\\text{Plug in 20 to} \,\,a^2\,\, \text{and}\,\, b^2}\\\\20^2+20^2=c^2\\\\\text{Solve:}\\\\20^2+20^2=c^2\\\\400+400=c^2\\\\800=c^2\\\\\sqrt800=\sqrt c\\[/tex]
