Given :
Let a be the length of basket ball court
Let b be the breadth of basket ball court.
Distance is defined as the total path travelled.
Hence Distance covered by the person to reach other end of basket ball court will be = length of court+breadth of court=a+b
Distance travelled=a+b
Displacement is the shortest distance between Source and destination.
Hence , Displacement will be the straight line [diagonal]as shown in the figure.
Displacement = √a²+b²
∴We notice that the displacement depends upon the route ans it is always less than or equal to distance.
