Answer:

true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total path covered by an object during its entire journey is called the distance covered. It is equal to the sum of all path traveled.

A person runs 21.0 km west then turns around and runs 10.0 km east. The total distance covered will be the sum of 21 km and 10 km.

d = 21 km + 10 km

d = 31 km

Hence, the given statement is true.
