You are summoned by a familiar group of pirates and asked to help them find more buried treasure. You arrive at a boulder and are shown a set of instructions: • Walk 500 paces from the boulder at an angle 40 degrees North of East. . Then walk 250 paces at an angle 45 degrees South of East. Then walk 380 paces directly South and dig. You realize that you can get to the treasure faster if you can add the three displacement vectors. Calculate the size and direction of the total (sum) vector. Please note: This is a vector addition You are summoned by a familiar group of pirates and asked to help them find more buried treasure.
