To reach the bus stop from her house Louis first walk due north 20m, then east 10m, and finally north 10m. a) What is Louis total distance traveled from her house to the bus stop?
20 + 10 + 10 = 40 meters
--------------------------
b) what is her displacement after reaching the bus stop?
She went 30 m north (20 + 10) and 10 m east.
d+=+sqrt%2830%5E2+%2B+10%5E2%29
d =~ 31.62 meters
