A clever adventurer on a treasure hunt 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? Submit photographs of your figures and calculations using the following graphical methods: a) HEAD-TO-TAIL METHOD b) PARALLELOGRAM METHOD
