Question:

The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors A(vector), B(vector), and C(vector). Vector A(vector) is along a measured trail and is 1550 m in a direction 25.08 north of east. Vector B(vector) is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the direction is 41.08 east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector C(vector) is 35.0o north of west. The hiker ends up back where she started. Therefore, it follows that the resultant displacement is zero, or A(vector) + B(vector) + C(vector) = 0. Find the magnitudes of

(a) Vector B(vector) And

(b) Vector C(vector)?
