Distance vs. Displacement

Distance is the total you traveled, you have to add the lengths you have traveled to get the total distance. An example is if i walk 900 m to school and then another 900 m back i have walked a total of 1,800 m and my total distance is 1.800 m. Displacement is the difference from your start location to your end location,  you have to find the length between the starting point and ending point. An example of displacement is if i walk 900 m to school and then another 900 m back i have a displacement of 900 m because the length of my starting point to my ending point is 900 m.
