The distance covered by Ray is 90 feets . His displacement is 30 feets.

The distance covered is the total sum of the length covered by Ray .

Hence, we have ;

  • 30 + 30 + 30 = 90 feets

The displacement is the distance between Ray's current position and his starting spot.

Hence, we have ;

  • Distance between 30 feeta south and 30 feets north, which is 30 feets .
