A traveler is exploring an unfamiliar cave in the Northern Luzon. She follows a passage 180 mstraight west, then 210 m in a direction 45 ̊ east of south, and then 280 m at 30 ̊ east of north.After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Draw thediagram following her path, then solve for the magnitude and direction of the fourthdisplacement. You may also try drawing a scale diagram of the given vectors using your ruler andprotractor, then measure the fourth displacement to check your quantitative answer.
