What path would an object have to take to have the distance and the displacement to be equal

When an object move in a straight line without moving back.

Explanation:

Distance is covered by an object is the magnitude of length from one position to the another. It is a scalar quantity.

While displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction. Displacement is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction.

If an object move in a straight path without going back, then, the magnitude of distance will be the same with the magnitude of displacement.

Both distance and displacement are measured in the same unit which is metres.

Therefore, an object have to take a straight path without going back to have the distance and the displacement equal.
