Total path is distance

Where as the straight line is the displacement

In case of a body going aroung a circle completing one full round, the distance is 2piR

But the displacement is ZERO

There by distance is a scalar and so it does not have direction

But displacement is a vector. Because of vector addition we get displacement in this case as ZERO
