Displacement

From the question, we are to determine the displacement

Using the diagram attached, D is displacement

Using the Pythagorean theorem,

D² = 11² + 6²

D² = 121 + 36

D² = 157

D = √157

D = 12.53 km

Hence, the displacement needed by the airplane to return to its starting point is 12.53 km.
