Question 1007670: A lion gets loose from the zoo. He goes 50m due west then turns and goes 20m due north.
1. Calculate the lion's displacement from the zoo(how far and direction).
2. Calculate the distance the lion traveled. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The displacement is found by the Pythagorean Theorem...
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 = 50^2 + 20^2 = 2500 + 400 = 2900
c = 53.85 m
The distance the lion traveled was 50 + 20 = 70m
