Explanation:
The given figure shows the path of an airplane that is trying to land on the runway using the path below.
(a) Distance is the total path covered.
D = (200+150+200+250) m
D = 800 m
(b) Initially, it was moving 200 m due east and finally it reaches 250 m due south. But displacement is the shortest path covered. O is the initial position and B is the final position.
Displacement = OA+AB
=(150 +250) m = 400 m
(c) The Airplane's displacement is in the south direction.
