Distance = 70+40 = 110m
\n" ); document.write( "Displacement - use Pythagorean theorem $\"a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"70%5E2+%2B+40%5E2+=+c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4900+%2B+1600+=+c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%286500%29+=+c\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"80.6+=+c\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
