The total displacement of the honeybee as it travels west, south and north is 219.2 m.

<h3>Total displacement of the honeybee</h3>

The total displacement of the honeybee is calculated as follows;

total horizontal displacement, x = 100 m due west

total vertical displacement, y = 200 m - 5 m = 195 m

total displacement, d = √x² + y²

d = √(100² + 195²)

d = 219.2 m

Thus, the total displacement of the honeybee as it travels west, south and north is 219.2 m.
