Answer:

Displacement = 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Kyle runs 20 m north, 20 m west and then 20 m south.

We need to find Kyles's total displacement.

Total distance = shortest path covered by Kyles.

The net displacement of Kyle is 20 m in east direction. Hence, this is the required solution.
