The image with the highlighting and numbers is a solved example problem. The other image is the problem you're solving. Hint: 5m came from the height and then we had 1s. Each square is 5 by 1 or 5m while each triangle is 2.5 m. In other words, rise of 5 and run of 1. On the right side, they become negative because we're going down. One example you add all the 5m and 2.5 m on the left and right side you get 20 m and -20 m. In the example the final answers are 20 m and -20 m and when added together they equal zero. Therefore, the moving man returned to its starting location. Now solve the Sandy problem the same way. is Sandy correct that the moving man did not return to his starting location? State your claim of agreeing or disagreeing with the moving man having a non zero total displacement. Gather evidence from your calculations. Connect your evidence to your claim by reasoning why it supports your claim. It should be directly linked with your reasoning to why or why not the moving man had a total non-zero displacement.
