A sailboat race course consists of four legs, defined by the displacement vectors ABC, and, as the drawing indicates. The
magnitudes of the first three vectors are A = 2.70 km, B-5.30 km, and C= 4.40 km. The finish line of the course coincides with the
starting line. Using the data in the drawing, find (a) the distance of the fourth leg and (b) the angle.
