A ship captain is sailing through the Pacific Ocean. He started from a harbor in Hawaii and travelled 100 km, 50 degrees W of S. Then he did a 90-deg clockwise turn and then moved 50 km further. After that, the ship captain steered the ship by 90 degrees counterclockwise and then moved by 20 km. Let these vectors to be named as A (red vector), B (blue vector), C (orange vector).
