On a fine Sunday afternoon, you went malling at the Mall of Asia. Starting from the parking lot, you traveled 240 m in the direction 32 degrees south of east and reached the IMAX theater and watched a movie. After watching a movie, you decided to return back to the parking lot but took different route. From the IMAX theater you traveled a distance X in the direction 48 degrees north of west and a distance Y in the direction 62 degrees south of west and reached the parking lot. What are the magnitudes of distances X and Y?

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?

A woman sailing a boat at night is following directions to a dock. The instructions read to first sail 27.5 m in a direction 66.0° north of east from her current location, and then travel 30.0 m in a direction 112° north of east (or 22.0° west of north.) We can represent the first leg of the trip with a vector A, and the second leg of the trip with a vector B. The dock is located at a location A + B. Show that the sum of the vectors gives the result shown in the figure below.
