The circumference of the rectangle, which is the distance travelled in one round = 2(50 m) + 2(20 m) = 100 meters + 40 meters = 140 meters.
Runs around rectangle twice = 2(140 m) = 280 m
Total Distance = 280 meter.
Total Displacement = 0 (because the runner came back to initial point)
Average speed = the distance / time taken
= 280 m / 100 s
= 2.8 m/s
Average velocity = displacement / time taken
= 0 / 100 s
= 0.
