Answer:

Explanation:

so her displacement is the distance from the start... she's now at a point (6,5) away from the start..  so what's the length of the side of the right triangle made by one side of 6 and the other of 5

Yes.. use Pythagoras theorem to solve this

C =  √([tex]6^{2}[/tex]+[tex]5^{2}[/tex])

C = √(36 + 25)

C = √61

C = 7.810  miles.. north east of where she started

C = 7.8 miles NE   :P
