5 miles minus 4 miles is 1 mile East of the starting point. Displacement is a vector quantity, so it must have magnitude and direction.
Displacement is only the distance from the starting point. As long as you return to where you started, then you can travel 1.0 x 10^999999999999 miles and still have a displacement of zero.
The acceleration cannot be determined with this information. The beginning and ending velocity needs to be known. You can determine her average velocity, however. average velocity = displacement/time = (9mi - 3mi)/3s = 6m/3s = 2m/s
One cylinder would have a displacement of 21.2 cubic inches. By multiplying this displacement by the number of cylinders, in this case 6, the total displacement would be approximately 127 cubic inches. Area of circle pi x radius squared x length of stroke = one cylinder's displacement. be sure to use same units for area as well as stroke.
2*3 = 6 square miles
