Answer:

282.84 m toward Northwest

Explanation:

d = √(500-300)² + (400-200)²

=√(200²+200²)

= √(40000+40000)

= √ 80000

= 282.84 m

direction => Northwest

-

[tex]d = \sqrt{(500 - 300)^2 + (400 - 200)^2 } [/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{200^{2} + 200 ^{2} } [/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{40.000 \times 2} [/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{80.000} [/tex]

[tex]d \approx 282,84 m[/tex]
