Answer:
Explanation:
If Tim jogs a distance of 7.2 km to the west and then he turns south and jogs 1.4 km, the resultant displacement of Tim is calculated using the pythagoras theorem as shown;
R² = 7.2²+1.4²
R² = 51.84+1.96
R² = 53.8
R = √53.8
R = 7.33 km
Hence the resultant of Tim’s jog back to the beginning is 7.33km
