Dear student

From centre to the front edge may require more information

From center to hole is (sqrt(2.5^2)+(2.5^2))

Ie 5/(sqrt(2))

The starting point of the queen was at the centre of the board. Since the board is a square, this means that the queen was at the centre of the diagonal of the square. 
Since the queen ended up in one of the pockets, its final position is at a vertice of the square. 
The displacement will be the distance between the initial and final position. 
The distance of any two opposite vertices (diagonal length) of a square is always a root 2, where a is the length of side. But here, since the queen is at the centre of diagonal, the distance will be half the diagonal. 
So the displacement will be 5\sqrt{2}/2
