Homework Statement
A girl delivering newspapers covers her route by traveling 9.00 blocks west, 4.00 blocks north, and then 3.00 blocks east. (a) What is her resultant displacement? (b) What is the total distance she travels?
Homework Equations
(a) displacement (change in X) = Xfinal - Xinitial
The Attempt at a Solution
(a) displacement = 3 blocks - 9 blocks = -6 blocks
(b) distance = 9 blocks + 4 blocks + 3 blocks = 16 blocks
My displacement answer is wrong and I don't what other equation to use
