A cross country runner leaves school for a 10 mile run. They end their run at a Dairy Queen one mile from school. What is the total distance they ran? What is their displacement?

Taking into account that they intended to complete a 10 mile run - I have to assume that

The distance covered is 10 miles

If the Dairty Queen is 2 miles from the school in a straight line -

I would wish to say that the displacement is 2 miles - But I am unable to do this because displacement is a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction - which is not given

So I am unable to provide an answer to: What is their displacement

But I can What is the magnitude of their displacement

and I answer : 2 miles

Explanation: Pls give me brainiest

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
