a) suppose u walk 18m straight west and then 25m straight south. how far are u from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting pointto your final position?

Question

b) repeat again, but now you first walk 25m north and then 18m east. is that consistent with your result in (a)?

Answer 1

angle: arctan 25/18 S of W.
arctan 25/18=54 deg S of W.
how far: sqrt(25^2+18^2)=....
