Answer

Final Answer: The magnitude of the total displacement is \(\boxed{1}\) meter.

Steps

Step 1 :The displacement is the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position. In this case, the initial position is point A and the final position is point C. Since this is an equilateral triangle, the distance from A to C is 1 meter.

Step 2 :Final Answer: The magnitude of the total displacement is \(\boxed{1}\) meter.
