Is distance traveled by a body taken from centre of mass?

Dear Sudent,
Yes, if a body moves from point A to point B then distance AB is simply the distance between the centre of mass of the body when it was placed at point A and the centre of mass of the body when it is placed at point B.
The distance travelled by the body is simply the distance between its centre of mass at two different positions.
Regards
