To find the total distance traveled, you simply add the two distances together:
1. 25 meters north
2. 30 meters south
Total distance = 25 m + 30 m = 55 m
However, if you're asking about the net displacement (how far you are from the starting point), you would subtract the distance going north from the distance going south:
Net displacement = 30 m (south) - 25 m (north) = 5 m south
So, the total distance traveled is 55 meters, and the net
