Answer 2

144 Meters

Explanation:

The distance traveled between two points is the total length of the path traveled. Distance is a scalar quantity therefore it has no direction and no negative sign.

The cross-country skier moves 28 meters westward, then 62 meters eastward, and finally 54 meters westward.

Total Distance Moved=28+62+54

=144 Meters
