The bases on a baseball field are 
apart in a perfect square.
A player hits a home run and goes around all 4 bases. What is the total distance he travelled?
The bases on a baseball field are
A player hits a home run and goes around all 4 bases. What is the total distance he travelled?
There is 90 feet between each base and distance does not depend on direction. Distance is scaler therefore, the batter travels 360 feet.

A player hits a home run and runs around all four bases. What is his total displacement?
The bases on a baseball field are
A player hits a home run and runs around all four bases. What is his total displacement?
Displacement is a vector. Therefore, magnitude and direction matters and because direction matters the total displacement is 0 feet.

Velocity is a vector so direction matters. Therefore this creates a right triangle with the two isosceles side having a velocity of 
. Therefore, the hypotenuse is 
when you perform Pythagorean theorem.
