distance traveled
How far gone
Distance traveled is the total length of the path covered during movement, regardless of direction.
Unlike displacement, which measures straight-line change in position, distance traveled accounts for every turn and backtrack: The distance traveled was twelve miles, though we ended up only two miles from where we started.
Common in physics problems, odometer readings, and travel reimbursement calculations.
