Answer:
A. 25km
B. 15km
Explanation:
In this problem, we are expected to solve for the total distance covered by the person, and the person’s displacement.
a) what is his distance?
this can be gotten by summing up all the individual distances covered by the person
total distance= 15+10
total diastance= 25 km
b) what is the person’s displacement?
the displacement is the distance measured away from a point
this can be gotten by subtraction the final distance/point from the initial distance/point
displacement= 25-10
displacement= 15km
