Answer» LENGTH of rectangular track = 40 m Breadth of rectangular track = 30 m Distance travelled by man = ? Displacement by man = ? Since, man is started from ONE corner and reaches the opposite corner . Let ABCD be the rectangle given in attachment. AB = DC = 40 m AD = BC = 30 m Let the man start from corner d and move to corner B. Then distance travelled by man = AD + AB = 30 + 40 = 70 m. Displacement of man is given by DIAGONAL of rectangle. Displacement of man =
hence, displacement of man is 50m. |
