Answer:

10.29 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A ship sails 9 km due West, then 5 km due South.

We need to find the distance of the ship from its initial position. Let the distance be d. We can find it as follows :

[tex]d=\sqrt{9^2+5^2} \\\\d=10.29\ km[/tex]

So, the required distance of the ship from its initial position is equal to 10.29 km.
