    3.3m/s

    Explanation:

    You first get the total time (80 + 70 = 150s).

    Then you would find the displacement of the truck. To do that you would do component method (vector addition), so since its a right triangle (North and East), displacement is 400^2 + 300^2 = d^2.

    d = 500m.

    So now that you have displacement and time, you can find the velocity:

    v=d/t

    v=500/150

    v=3.3
