To solve the problem, we need to calculate both the total distance covered by the man and his displacement. ### Step 1: Calculate the Total Distance Covered The total distance covered by the man can be calculated by adding the distances he traveled in each segment of his journey. 1. He moves 4 meters east. 2. He then moves 3 meters north. 3. Finally, he climbs up a pole of height 12 meters. ...
