1. A runner starts a race that consists of three legs. For the first leg, she runs 2 miles due north. The second leg consists of running 9 miles due south. For the final leg, she runs another 2 miles due north. How far is he from his starting position? 2. Eric leaves the base camp and hikes 11 km, north and then hikes 11 km east. Determine Eric's resulting displacement. What is the direction of his overall displacement? 3. A man walks 2.6 miles east then turns and walks 6.7 miles north. Where is he in relation to his starting point?
