The helicopter, having flown 50 km in horizontal flight in a straight line

The helicopter, having flown 50 km in horizontal flight in a straight line, turned at an angle of 90 ° and flew another 60 km. find the path and move the helicopter.

Task data: S1 (forward path of the specified helicopter) = 50 km; S2 (helicopter path after turning 90º) = 60 km.

1) The path covered by the indicated helicopter: L = S1 + S2 = 50 + 60 = 110 km.

2) Moving the helicopter (Pythagorean theorem): S = √ (S1 ^ 2 + S2 ^ 2) = √ (50 ^ 2 + 60 ^ 2) = 78.1 km.

Answer: The distance traveled by the indicated helicopter is 110 km; displacement is 78.1 km.
