<span>Answer: 0.00 meters
   
Solution:
   
Step 1: Define displacement DISPLACEMENT = a vector quantity that describes "linear or angular distance in a given direction between a body or point and a reference position."
   
Step 2: Understand the question
 
Assumption 1: Assume that when the ant moves 4.25 meters from its origin to its nest, it is moving in a positive direction (on a graph you would draw a line along the x-axis from its origin to +4.25).
   
Assumption 2: Assume that when the ant "turns around...back to the source of food", it is moving back in the negative direction (towards the origin).

Step 3: Analyze the question
   
What is the distance between where the ant originally started and where it ended its journey?
 
The ant started and ended its journey in the same place. While it traveled a distance of 8.52 meters (2 * 4.26 = 8.52), it's displacement is actually 0.00 meters (4.26 + (-4.26) = 0.00)
 
Therefore, the answer is 0.00 meters</span>

Answer:

24 sq. m

Step-by-step explanation:

its not a rectangle so you cant just do height x base you have to make it a triangle and a rectangle

4x5 = 20 sq m for rectangle

1/2 x 4 x 2 = 4 sq m for the triangle

20 + 4 = 24sq m
