d = 40km[315o]+2.8km[30o]+5.2km[112o]
X = 28.28 + 2.425 - 1.948 = 28.76 km.
Y = -28.28 + 1.4 + 4.821 = -22.06 km.
d = sqrt(28.76^2+(-22.06)^2) = 36.2 km.
NOTE: To find X, multiply by the cosine;
to find Y, multiply by the sine.
X = 28.28 + 2.425 - 1.948 = 28.76 km.
Y = -28.28 + 1.4 + 4.821 = -22.06 km.
d = sqrt(28.76^2+(-22.06)^2) = 36.2 km.
