A sailboat under auxilary power is proceeding in the direction N 25° W at 6 (25° West of North) miles per hour. A tail wind is blowing 15 mph in the direction S 35° E (35° East of South). Which of the following is the component vector for the resultant vector that considers both the sailboat and the tail wind?

A hiking girl needs to go 39.2 km straight North to get to base camp, instead the compass confuses her and she travels 17.248 km at a 3.9° deflection East from straight North. Then she realizes what she has done and so guesses an angle of 17.8° deflection West of straight North and then hikes 30.576 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement from where she is now located to base camp. (put your answer is standard units)
