Question

A jogger follows this route every morning. Assume each segment is a straight line.

A= 1000m due south
B= 500m at 53 degrees east of south
C= 400m due east

What is the jogger's displacement from start to end including magnitude and direction?
Express as vectors
A =[0, -1000]
B =[500sin(53°), -500cos(53°)]
C =[400, 0]

Sum the vectors, then calculate the magnitude and direction of that sum.
