The plane flew 60 km east, then turned north and flew another 80 km. Find the path traveled and the movement of the plane.

In order to find the total movement of the aircraft, it is necessary to add up the distance that the aircraft flew to the east and north.

In this case, we get:

60 + 80 = 140 km.

In order to find a common path, it is necessary to find the hypotenuse of the displacement values.

Since the north and east directions are perpendicular, they act as the legs of a right triangle.

In this case, the total path will be:

L ^ 2 = 60 * 60 + 80 * 80 = 3600 + 6400 = 10000.

L = 100 km.
