subtract 1 from 2
Draw a vector from her starting point to her ending point
Edward and his family are sightseeing. They walk two blocks north, four blocks west and two blocks south. All together they have walked blocks and have a total displacement magnitude only of 8. 2+4+2=8
8 R1CO95- Well eight not 8. ^_^
7km
To complete the circle you would have to walk 10 blocks south and 1 block east to return to your starting point, 11 blocks.

The total displacement will be calculated using Pythagoras theorem. The distance traveled will form the two sides of the triangle. Hence we have to calculate the hypotenuse side using the formula Square root of (2 power 2 + 1 power 2)=Square root(5)=2.23
2 blocks west and then 3 blocks south
Displacement is basically the total space between point A and point B. Commonly mistaken, displacement is different than distance. For example, if somebody walked 5 meters to the right, then 4 meters to the left, their displacement would be 1 meter, and their distance walked would be 9 meters.
The distance traveled would be 135m (100m + 35m) since it's the total length of the path you walked. The displacement would be 65m forward because it's the difference between your final position and your initial position.
