Draw a vector from her starting point to her ending point
subtract 1 from 2
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. ^_^

To complete the circle you would have to walk 10 blocks south and 1 block east to return to your starting point, 11 blocks.

3 blocks east
Edward and his family have walked a total of eight blocks (2 blocks north + 4 blocks west + 2 blocks south). To find their total displacement, we can visualize their path: they end up two blocks west of their starting point. The magnitude of their displacement is simply the straight-line distance, which is 4 blocks (2 blocks north and 4 blocks west can be combined using the Pythagorean theorem: √(2² + 4²) = √20 = 4.47 blocks, but since the question asks for magnitude only, we can state they are effectively 4 blocks away westward).

To find out how many blocks you would need to walk back, first calculate your net displacement in the east-west direction. Starting from your original position, moving 6 blocks east and then 9 blocks west results in a net displacement of 3 blocks west. Since you are 10 blocks north, you would need to walk back 3 blocks east to return to your starting point. Therefore, you need to walk back 3 blocks east.
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
To determine Mark's total displacement, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. He walked 2 miles east and 1 mile north, forming a right triangle where the legs are 2 miles and 1 mile. The displacement is the hypotenuse, calculated as √(2² + 1²) = √(4 + 1) = √5, which is approximately 2.24 miles in a northeast direction.
2 blocks west and then 3 blocks south
They walked a total of eight blocks. The route consists of two blocks north, four blocks west, and two blocks south, which adds up to 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 blocks.
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.
