Respuesta :
To find how far east we drove (This is the displacement), we simple subtract 12 from 40.
An easy way to do this in your head is to round 12 down to 10, subtract 10 from 40, then subtract the remaining 2. This should result in an answer showing that you drove 28 miles east.

Answer:
The displacement is 28 miles.
Explanation :
Given that,
Distance to east = 40 miles
Distance to west = 12 miles
We need to calculate the displacement
Using formula of displacement
[tex]D = X_{2}-X_{1}[/tex]
Where, D = displacement
X₁= Initial distance to east
X₂ = final distance to west
Put the value into the formula
[tex]D=12-40[/tex]
[tex]D = -28\ miles[/tex]
Negative sign show the direction of east
Hence, The displacement is 28 miles.
