Answer:
a) distance is 4+7+1+8=20 blocks
b) displacement is 10 blocks
Explanation:
find displacement: x and y
x axis displacement = 4-1 = 3 blocks
y axis displacement = -7+8= 1 block
displacement = the square root of 3^2 + 1^2
= 9+1 = 10 blocks.
You can find the angle of displacement with respect to the initial position using trig identities, if you wish.
