Answer
Correct Answer: 45 m East
Explanation
Given path (treat East = +x, North = +y) Start (0,0) +20 m North → (0, 20) Right (East) +30 m → (30, 20) Right (South) −35 m → (30, −15) Left (East) +15 m → (45, −15) Left (North) +15 m → (45, 0)
Displacement From (0,0) to (45, 0) = 45 m due East.
Final Answer 45 m East
