Answer:

20 meters

Explanation:

Since west and east are exactly opposite directions, we can calculate the magnitude of the total displacement triangle in one dimension: triangle = 10m - 30m =20m

. Displacement is a vector, so we have to add that the vector triangle points due east, since Tomasi walked further in the east direction than in the west direction.
