Vectors A treasure map shows a path from the hanging tree to walk to find the buried treasure. It reads to start at the hanging tree and north 7.5 meters. The map then says to turn and walk 9.8 meters at 30 degrees north of east, then walk south 1.4 meters, and finally walk west 38.0 meters. Once at this position, the map says to turn east and walk 14.0 more meters, then turn north and walk 12.0 more meters, and finally to turn due west and walk 6.0 meters. There you will find the treasure!(a) Being a physicist, you want to get rid of all the steps and walk right to the treasure. What is the magnitude of the displacement you would walk if you walked directly to the treasure alongthe line of the resultant?
