Isn't it 10 * 20?

Answered by Ranma
I don't understand. It says that distance dosent depend on direction since it is a scalar. For example, one problem said that suppose you walk 20 meters down the + x axis and turn around and walk 10 meters down the - x axis, what is the distance? The answer became 30 meters.

This question is asking for distance, not displacement

d=vt=200m

The question states itself, "what was the distance traveled?", thanks for answering though.
Answered by Ms. Sue
