________3. The distance between Ren’s position and the identified reference point is 5m.
________4. The shortest distance between his home and the church is called displacement.
________5. Distance is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction.

Displacement = 42 𝑚 + 32 𝑚
= 16𝑚 + 9𝑚

SAMPLE PROBLEM:
A boat sailing through a river
moved eastward for 5 km,
then cross the river by
moving 3 km southward. On
reaching the other side it
moved westward through 1
km and reached the jetty.
Find the distance covered
and displacement of the boat.
Distance covered = AB + BC + CD
= 5km + 3km + 1 km
= 9 km
