While scavenging for acorns before the big winter, Scrat the Squirrel leaves his tree house and skitters along 8.00 m at a heading of 40.0° SoE to collect two acorns. Then, he traipses off 10.0 m West to snag another acorn. Finally, he sees a big prize and hurriedly rushes 12.0 m at 20.0° EoN. If he must now make it back to his tree house, how far and in what direction should he head to go home? I know the answer I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 6.14 m @ 87.8° NoE
