Answer:

The displacement is 33 m due west

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first displacement due east is [tex]d_e = 161 \ m[/tex]

The displacement due west is [tex]d_w = 294 \ m[/tex]

The second displacement due east is [tex]d_{e_2} = 100 \ m[/tex]

Generally the displacement is mathematically represented as

[tex]D = d_e + d_{e_2 } - d_w[/tex]

=>  [tex]D =  161 +  100 -  294 [/tex]

=>  [tex]D =  -33 \  m  [/tex]     Note [-ive] represents west [+ive] represents east  

Which means that the displacement is 33 m  due  west
