Two ducklings wander away from the nest while their mother is away. The first duckling's displacement (distance and direction) from the nest is (12,5) The second duckling's displacement is (13,-8) How much farther did the second duckling wander than the first duckling?

the second duckling is wandering by 2.6 units distance than the first duckling .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Two ducklings wander away from the nest while their mother is away. The first duckling's displacement (distance and direction) from the nest is (12,5) The second duckling's displacement is (13,-8) . We need to find How much farther did the second duckling wander than the first duckling. Let's find out:

Let a = (12,5) and b =(13,-8)

The distance each duckling wandered is the magnitude of its displacement vector. Therefore, the expression Distance second duck wandered is given by :

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

Therefore , the second duckling is wandering by 2.6 units distance than the first duckling .

How much farther did the second duckling wander than the first duckling?

2.3 meters

How far are the ducklings apart?

13.0 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
