A cross-country skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44 meters westward, and finally 22 meters eastward.

Complete question is;

A cross-country skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44 meters westward, and finally 22 meters eastward. What's the Magnitude and Direction?

Magnitude = 14 m

Direction = eastward

Explanation:

The magnitude and direction of this cross-country skier will be the gotten from his displacement.

Now, from directions of 4 cardinal points, we can say that the eastward direction is on the positive x-axis and is positive while the westward direction is on the negative x-axis and is negative.

From those positive and negative signs above, we can represent the movement of the skier as;

moves 36 meters eastward = 36 m

moves 44meters westward = -44 m

Moves finally 22 meters eastward = 22

Thus, displacement will be:

36 - 44 + 22 = 14

It is positive, and thus, the magnitude is 14 and the direction is east ward.
