The treasure map gives the following directions to the buried treasure: “Start at the old oak tree, walk due north for 502 m, then due east for 109 m. Dig. ” But when you arrive, you find an angry dragon just north of the tree. To avoid the dragon, you set off along the yellow brick road at an angle 62.8° east of north.After walking 291 m you see an opening through the woods.
Which direction should you go, and how far, to reach the treasure?
