You are to make four straight-line moves over a flat desert floor, starting at the origin of an xy coordinate system and ending at the xy coordinates (−134 m, 26 m). The x component and y component of your moves are the following, respectively, in meters: (20 and 60), then (bx and −70.0), then (−20.0 and cy), then (−61.0 and −68.0).

(a) What is component bx?
 

(b) What is component cy?
 

(c) What is the the magnitude of the overall displacement?
 

(d) What is the angle of the overall displacement?
           ?  counterclockwise from the +x-axis
