reads the following instructions from his
map: Walk 347 m east of a large acacia
tree, then 764 m at a direction 25º north
of east, then 465 m in a south-west
direction. Because he studied vectors in
college, he uses vector addition using
graphical methods to make his search
easier. According to his graphs, how far
and in what direction should he walk to get
directly to the treasure?
