Answer:

75m

Explanation:

If a cat walk 100m East, this means that it is walking in the positive x direction, the distance will therefore be +100m

If it turns around and walks 25 m west, the direction of movement is in the negative x direction i.e -25m

Taking the sum;

Displacement = +100m - 25m

Displacement of the cat = 75m

hence the cats displacement is 75m
