52. A highway engineer is using a road map to lay out a
detour for the westbound lane of a section of highway
that, on the map, is a straight line going east and west.
On the map, the detour goes 4 miles straight north,
1 mile straight west, 2 miles straight north, 6 miles
straight west, 3 miles straight south, 1 mile straight
east, and finally 3 miles straight south, back to the
highway. According to the map, how many more miles
will a westbound driver travel by taking the detour
than he would if he could stay on the highway?

6-10 are wrong. Please tell me the right answers.
one day you go hiking at a nearby nature preserve. at first, you follow the straight, clearly marked trails. from your starting point, you travel 2.00 miles down the 1st trail. then you turn to your left by 30.0 degrees to follow a 2nd trail for 1.40 miles. next, you turn to your right by 160 degrees and follow a third trail for 1.90 miles. at this point you are getting very tired and would like to go back. you would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods. how far to your right should you turn, and how far do you have to walk, to go directly back to the darting point. what degree turn to the right must "I" take, and how many miles must I walk back? I know the distance is 2.104 miles, but I cannot figure out the degree angle.
Can you go step by step.
