Answer:

5km

Explanation:

Magnitude of displacement is found by getting the resultant. Resultant is same as the bypotenuse hence

[tex]R=\sqrt {{x^{2}+y^{2}}[/tex] where x is the displacement in west direction and y is displacement in North direction. Substituting x with 3km and y with 4 km then

[tex]R=\sqrt {{3^{2}+4^{2}}=5km[/tex]
