    Total distance traveled = 56 m

    Total displacement is 12 m

    Direction of coach is westward

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It is given that football coach first go 12 meter westward then 16 meter eastward.

    So no position of coach in eastward direction = 16 - 12 = 4 m

    And then 22 m west westward

    Therefore position of coach now is 22-4 = 18 m westward

    And finally 6 m eastward

    Therefore final position of coach is 18-6 = 12 m westward

    So displacement of coach is 12 m and direction is westward.

    Total distance traveled = 12+16+22+6 = 56 m
