What is the magnitude of the displacement of the colored checker during the triple jump?

A checkerboard shows a triple jump, starting at the center of square A and ending on the center of square B. Each side of a square measures 3.6 cm. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the colored checker during the triple jump?|||The jump is diagonal. From center of 1st square to center of 7th square is really a total of 6 diagonal lengths.





A diagonal length is the hypotenuse of a triangle, 3.6 cm per side. The length of the hypotenuse is 鈭?3.6虏 + 3.6虏 = 5.09 cm





6 * 30.547 cm = 30.5 cm
