In the sport of orienteering, participants must plan carefully to get from one checkpoint to another in the shortest possible time. In one case, starting at a particular checkpoint, Sam decides to take astraight path that goes west for 500 meters, and then go northeast for 500 meters on another straight path to reach the next checkpoint. Northeast, by the way, means 45 degrees to both north andeast.Between the same two checkpoints, Mary decides to take the shortest distance between the two checkpoints, traveling off the paths through the woods instead.(a) What is the distance that Mary travels between the checkpoints? (Note that Sam travels a total distance of 1000 m, although his speed is probably significantly higher than Mary's.)923.8X m(b) In what direction does Mary go? Specify her direction as a positive angle, measured counterclockwise from east.

The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors A,B ,c Cand . Vector A is along a measured trail and is 1550 m in a direction 25.0° north of east. Vector B is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the direction is 41.0° east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector C is 10.0° north of west. The hiker ends up back where she started, so the resultant displacement is zero, or A+ B+ C = 0. Find the magnitudes of vector B and vector C .
