    The magnitude of the displacement is the distance between the starting position and the end position.

    The bus moves north, then west, forming a right triangle. Its displacement is therefore the length of the hypotenuse.

    x² = 3² + 4²

    x = 5

    The magnitude of the bus's displacement from station A to station B is 5 km.
