Answer:
Explanation:
The distance will be the total distannce covered during the journey.
If you move 3 meters East and move 4 meters north, then the distance will be calculated as;
Distance = distnace through East+distance through north
Distance = 3m + 4m
Distance = 7m
Displacement is the distance covered in a specified direction. It is the shortest distance covered by me. This can be gotten using the Pythagoras theorem.
d² = 3²+4²
d² = 9+16
d² = 25
d = √25
d = 5m
Hence the displacement of the object is 5metres
