### Airplane Navigation Problem#### Problem Statement:A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes the route shown in the figure below. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a direction 30.0° north of east. Next, it flies for 150 km 20.0° west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the location of city C relative to the location of the starting point.#### Inputs:- Distance covered during each leg of the trip.- Angles indicating the direction of each leg of the trip relative to cardinal directions.#### Inputs to Find:- Distance: ______ km- Angle: ______ ° west of north#### Diagram Explanation:The diagram represents the path taken by the airplane on an xy-coordinate system:1. **Starting Point \( O \):** The initial point of the airplane.2. **Segment \( \vec{a} \):** The airplane travels 175 km from point \( O \) to point \( A \) in a direction of 30.0° north of east. - Vector \( \vec{a} \): - Magnitude: 175 km - Direction: 30.0° north of east3. **Segment \( \vec{b} \):** From point \( A \), the airplane travels 150 km to point \( B \) in a direction of 20.0° west of north. - Vector \( \vec{b} \): - Magnitude: 150 km - Direction: 20.0° west of north4. **Segment \( \vec{c} \):** From point \( B \), the airplane flies 190 km due west to point \( C \). - Vector \( \vec{c} \): - Magnitude: 190 km - Direction: Due west (270° from north)#### Coordinate System:- The x-axis represents the east-west direction (positive x towards east).- The y-axis represents the north-south direction (positive y towards north).- Angles are measured from the north direction (upward y-axis).The coordinate positions to be found are \( x \) and \( y \) coordinates of city C relative to the starting point \( O \).Important notations:- \( \vec{R} \
