A boy walks 4 m South and then walks 7 m at 35 degrees east of south. What is the boy's displacement? Be sure to include magnitude and direction.
It takes a golfer a total of three strokes to put the ball in the hole. The displacements of the three strokes are as follows: d1 = 4.20 m the north, d2 = 2.00 m northeast, and d3 = 1.10 m at ? = 35.0° west of south, as shown in the figure. If the golfer had made the hole in a single shot, what would be the displacement of the ball? (Assume the positive y- and x-axes are in the north and east directions, respectively. Give the magnitude of your answer in meters and the direction in degrees north of east.)

A man is lost in a thick forest. Confused and clueless as to what direction to take, he walks a certain distance and then turns and walks a certain distance again, and then turns and walks a certain distance. After his last step, he notices that he has just reached the point where he has started. If his first two displacements are respectively 5.0 m, 25 degrees North of East and 24.0 m, 30 degrees West of North, what is his third displacement?
