Solution

The distance you ran is 1300 meters. This is because distance is the total length of the path you traveled.

However, displacement is the shortest distance from the starting point to the ending point. Since you ended up back where you started, your displacement is 0 meters.

So, the correct answer is: Distance: 1300 meters. Displacement: 0 meters.
