A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00° north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0° west of north from Atlanta. The figure below shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. magnitude 334.15 direction 52.27 Chicago Dallas 560 mi x mil X north of east of Dallas -21.0⁰° 730 mi Atlanta 5.00°

A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction of 5.00° north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction of 21.0° west of north from Atlanta. Figure P 3.22 shows the locations of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago.
A Red Cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 115 km in the direction 195° from North.It drops off some relief supplies, then flies 135 km at 350° from North to pick up three medics.If the helicoper then heads directly back to headquarters, find the distance and direction (rounded to one decimal place) it should fly. The direction should be in degrees from north.
