Answer:

If the car travels 150 kilometers to the Southeast, and then 50 kilometers to the North, it is understood that the car does not travel the same way out as it does back. Therefore, the car's displacement will be the sum of both distances traveled, that is, 150 + 50, which is equal to 200. Therefore, the car traveled about 200 kilometers from its starting point.
