The crow would have to fly a distance of 20.4 miles to reach the point that is 1 mile east and 20 miles south of its starting point. This can be calculated using Pythagoras' theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the distance flown by the crow) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the right triangle formed by the crow's path.

A radio controlled car rolls 10 miles south then reverses direction and rolls 8 miles north The car has traveled a distance of 18 miles and has a displacement of miles south?
The car has traveled a total distance of 18 miles (10 miles south + 8 miles north), but its displacement is 2 miles south. Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending points, regardless of the actual path taken.

Omar drives a car five miles north then five miles west then five miles south How many miles is he likely to be from his starting point?
The obvious answer is 5 miles. The not-so-obvious part is it depends on where he is when he starts. If he is on the equator, he is five miles from his point of origin. If his starting point was the south pole, and he drives five miles north, then west, then south, he will arrive back at his starting point. Before you disagree, consider that he is driving on a sphere not a flat plain.

What is the straight line for 9 miles west and 12 miles south?
Your question isn't quite clear, but the straight-line distance if you were to travel diagonally to the same end point from 9 miles west of a starting point, then 12 miles south, would be 15 miles (southwest from starting point is direction). This is found by using pythagorean theorem: squaring 9, squaring 12, adding these values and taking the square root.9^2 + 12^2 = ___^2
How can you travel 3 miles south and then 3 miles east and then 3 miles north and be at your starting place?
