Explanation:
Walk from one corner of basketball court to another corner
let the length of the court = a meter;
Let breadth of the court = b meter;
So the distance covered by the person to reach from one corner to another corner of the basketball court is = a+b meter
Displacement = underoot a^2+b^2
This is the total displacement by the person to reach from one corner to the other corner of a basketball court.
Displacement is less than or equal to the distance. Displacement depends on the route.
