Jamarion · Answer 1

- - Her total distance is (10m + 30m) = 40 meters.

- - Her displacement from the history classroom is

(10m north + 30m south) = 20 meters south.

Chapman · Answer 2

She walks/travels 40 meters. Her displacement is 20 metres because she walked 10m, back those same 10m and the 20m to the art classroom.
