40 m due north and 30m due east what is the distance
think of your basic 3-4-5 right triangle
your distances are similar to these
Find the distance traveled and the displacement of the vector.

To find the distance between two points, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, you have a right-angled triangle with one side measuring 40 m (north) and the other side measuring 30 m (east). The hypotenuse of this triangle represents the distance between the two points.
To find the distance, you can apply the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Using this formula, the distance (d) can be calculated as follows:
d = √(40^2 + 30^2)
Let's do the math:
d = √(1600 + 900)
d = √2500
d = 50 m
Therefore, the distance between the points located 40 m due north and 30 m due east is 50 meters.
