Answer:
a. 720 yards
b. 254.56 yards
Explanation:
Given that the square block is 180 yards per side.
a. The distance traveled by John = The perimeter of the square block
The perimeter of the square block = 4 x Length of one of its sides
So that,
The distance traveled by John = 4L
= 4 x 180
= 720 yards
Thus, John travels a distance of 720 yards.
b. John's final displacement = [tex]\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }[/tex]
where x ad y are the length of any two sides of the square block.
John's final displacement = [tex]\sqrt{180^{2} + 180^{2} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{64800}[/tex]
= 254.5584
John's final displacement is 254.56 yards.
