The distance Shane is from his starting point is 6.7 meters.
Distance is the length of space between two points while displacement is the shortest part between two points.
Shane marched 3 m East and 6 m north, to find the distance he is from his starting point (displacement), we use Pythagoras theorem.
Pythagoras theorem is used to show the relationship between sides of a right angled triangle.
Let x represent the distance from the starting point, hence using Pythagoras:
x² = 3² + 6²
x = 6.7 m
