Answer:
The distance is [tex]d = 79 \ m [/tex]
The displacement is 43 m to the left
Explanation:
Generally the distance is mathematically represented as
[tex]d = a + b + c [/tex]
substituting 35 meters for b, 18 meters for a and 26 meters for c
So
[tex]d = 35 + 18 + 26 [/tex]
[tex]d = 79 \ m [/tex]
In the question we are going to assume the left direction is negative while right direction is positive
Generally the displacement is mathematically represented as
[tex]D = x + y + z[/tex]
substituting (- 35) meters for y, (+ 18 )meters for x and (-26) meters for z
[tex]D = 18 - 35 -26[/tex]
[tex]D = - 43\ m[/tex]
So the displacement is 43 meters to the left
