The bunny rabbit's displacement is the straight-line distance between its starting point and its ending point.
To find the displacement, we can use the Pythagorean theorem since the bunny rabbit hop 20 meters north and then 8 meters west.
The north and west directions form a right-angle triangle. The north distance is the vertical side, and the west distance is the horizontal side.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the displacement:
Displacement = √(20^2 + 8^2)
Displacement = √(400 + 64)
Displacement = √464
Displacement ≈ 21.54 meters
So, the bunny rabbit's displacement is approximately 21.54 meters.
