Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a jogger runs 186 meters westward, then 210 meters eastward, then 156 meters westward, and finally 8A meters eastward.

To calculate the displacement, let assume that the

Westward = positive

Eastward = negative

Displacement = 186 - 210 + 156 - 84

Displacement = 342 - 294

Displacement = 48 m

Since the answer is positive, the direction of the displacement will be westward.
