An aircraft travelled from calabar to kano as follows: it flew first to ilorin convering a distance of 300km, 30^o west of North, and then flew 400km, 60^o East of North to kano. What is the resultant displacement?

567km

410km

594km

500km

600km

Correct answer is D

R² = 300² + 400²

R² = 90000 + 160000

R = \(\sqrt{250000}\)

= 500km
