A red cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 75 km at 40 degrees south of west. There it drops off some relief supplies, then flies 90 km at 15 degrees west of north to pick up three medics. How far West is the helicopter from its starting point? km How far North is the helicopter from its starting point? km (Make this number negative if it is South of the starting point)

Mariana finds a cave to explore. Starting at the cave entrance, Mariana first follows a passage 75.0 m north, then turns and moves 250 m east, then goes 113 m at an angle 30.0° north of east, and finally moves 179 m south.

A map in a pirate’s log gives directions to the location of a buried treasure. The starting location is an old oak tree. According to the map, the treasure’s location is found by proceeding 7.45 paces North from the oak tree and then 6.62 paces Northeast. At this location, an iron pin is sunk into the ground. From the iron pin, walk 2.59 paces South and dig. How far (in paces) from the oak tree is the spot at which digging occurs?
Starting in Albany, you travel a distance 101 miles in a direction 37.1 degrees north of west. Then, from this new position, you travel another distance 355 miles in a direction 10.2 degrees north of east. In your final position, what is your displacement from Albany?
