To calculate the total distance and the displacement of the person, we can break down their movements.
1. **Total Distance**:
The total distance is simply the sum of all the distances traveled regardless of direction.
- 3 m east
- 2 m north
- 1 m west
- 2 m south
Total distance = 3 m + 2 m + 1 m + 2 m = 8 m
2. **Displacement**:
Displacement is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the ending point, taking direction into
