____________________

Step by step solution:

Total distance = sum of distance covered by object.

Total distance = 6 km + 8 km = 14 km

For displacement it should be shortest path

$Using \ Pythagoreas \ Theorem \\\\Displacement=\sqrt{6^{2} +8^{2} } \ km\\\\Displacement=\sqrt{100} \ km = 10 \ km$

Hope it is clear to you.
