​

Answer 1

Answer:

5m

Explanation:

Distance walked towards east =

25m

Distance walked towards south = 15m

Distance walked towards west = 40m

Distance walked towards north = 10m

Distance walked towards east again = 15m

Total distance walked towards east = 15+25=40m

Distance walked in East - West

= 40-40= 0m

Distance walked in South - North = 15-10 = 5m

Displacement = 5m
