Answer:
Explanation:
Using the pythagoras theorem, the displacement is expressed as;
d² = x²+y²
y = 36m (north)
x = 20m east
Substitute;
d² = 36²+20²
d² = 1296+400
d² = 1696
d = √1696
d = 41.18m
For the direction;
theta = tan^-1(y/x)
theta = tan^-1(36/20)
theta = tan^-1(1.8)
theta = 60.95°
Hence the magnitude is 41.18m and the direction is 60.95°
