distance=30 meters
displacement=10 meters

distance is the overall amount he travelled so 20+10=30 he travelled 30 meters
displacement is how far he is from where he originally started so if he ran 20 meters away but then 10 back he’s only 10 meters away from where he started 20-10=10

pretty sure this is right hope i helped
