Expert Solution

Introduction:
All physical quantities in this world is classified as either vectors or scalars. Any vector can be resolved in respective rectangular components. We are walking and there are 3 checkpoints. The displacement of all the 3 checkpoints are given separately. We resolve the vectors in components and find the resultant component in each direction due north and due west. We take north as +y axis and west as +x axis.
