Answer:

[tex]6\ \text{miles}[/tex]

0

Explanation:

The distance traveled in the loop is [tex]2+1+2+1=6\ \text{miles}[/tex].

The journey starts and ends at the same point. Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending of a journey.

Here, the bus leaves and arrives at the same point after the completion of the journey so, the displacement of the bus is [tex]0\ \text{mile}[/tex].
