Answer:
10cm
Explanation:
While moving distance P to Q the rabbit made a horizontal displacement along the x-axis.Then it moved at right-angle to PQ, which means it made a vertical displacement along the y-axis.The movement thus from P to Q to the end point lets say point E after the vertical movement can be sketched as a right-triangle if you join the endpoint , E to the start point P.
Apply the Pythagorean relationship where the horizontal movement will represent the longer side a, the vertical movement to represent the shorter side b, where as the displacement will be represented by the hypotenuse side c
Hence if; a=8cm, b=6cm, c=?
Apply⇒ a²+b²=c²
8²+6²=c²
64+36=c²
100=c²
√100=c
10cm=c
Magnitude of displacement is 10 cm
