If you leave school and walk 150 m Northeast

to the gas station to get a bag of Takis, then you
continue to walk 25 m Northeast to Domino's,
what is your distance traveled? What is your
displacement?

Answer:

Both are 175 m

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the distance (total length traveled) is the same as the displacement (distance from the point of origin to the end point). The person walked a straight line from school all the way to Domino's.

150 m + 25 m = 175 m

175 m cause 150+25 is equal to 175
