Answer:

25.0m

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached for the schematic diagram of motion of the cart. The displacement of the cart is the length AD.

To get the length AD, we will apply Pythagoras theorem on ΔAED.

According to the theorem:

AD² = AE²+ED²

AD² = 20²+15²

AD² = 400+225

AD² = 625

AD = √625

AD = 25.0m

Hence the shopper’s total displacement is 25.0m
