Answer 1

Displacement is a vector quantity and must give view towards direction.  

4 meters east cancels 4 meters west and 2 meters south cancels 2 meters north.  

Vector quantities for examples displacement are direction oriented.  

Scalar quantities for example distance are unaware of right direction.

Direction is used to confirm where things are in relation to other.

Direction also elaborates movement as Susie can walk forward/backward and she can turn left or right when walking to school.  

Cardinal directions are most significant directions in north, south, east and west.
