Question

Suppose you first walk 9.5 m in a direction 20.0° west of north and then 17.5 m in a direction 40.0° south of west.

Part A: How far are you from your starting point in meters? 

Part B: What is the angle, in degrees, of the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position measured south of west? 

Part C: Repeat part A, but for the magnitude of the displacement in meters for the second leg where you walk 17.5 m in a direction 40.0° north of east. 

Part D: Repeat part A, but now you first walk 9.5m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 17.5 m in a direction 20.0° east of south
