Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Distance Traveled
  • The distance traveled is the sum of the distances from your house to the library and from the library to the park.
  • From your house to the library: 0.75 mi + 0.60 mi = 1.35 mi
  • From the library to the park: 0.35 mi
  • Total distance traveled: 1.35 mi + 0.35 mi = 1.70 mi
Step 2: Calculate the Displacement
  • Displacement is the straight-line distance from the starting point (your house) to the final point (the park).
  • From your house to the park: 0.75 mi + 0.60 mi = 1.35 mi

Final Answer

  • Distance traveled: 1.70 mi
  • Displacement: 1.35 mi
