Amy hiked due east for 2 miles and then hiked due south for 3 miles.

b. How far and in what direction is Amy from her starting position?

Respuesta :

The distance between Amy's initial and final position is 1 mile and she is facing South direction

It is given that,

Amy first moves towards East direction in reference to her initial position  for 2 miles

The distance covered by Amy in East direction = 2 miles

Then,

Amy moves towards South direction in reference to her initial position(facing East side) for 3 miles

The distance covered by Amy in South direction = 3 miles

We need to find,

The distance between Amy's initial and final position which will be given by the displacement between both points

Let's say that the positive direction is East and the negative direction is south.

The distance covered by Amy in East direction = + 2 miles

The distance covered by Amy in South direction = - 3 miles

Then , +2 +(-3) = -1

Hence, the distance between Amy's initial and final position is 1 mile and she is facing South direction
