An elephant walks east for a distance of 30 km, then walks north for a distance of 16 km and finally north east at 300 for 18 km. Find the magnitude of the elephant’s total displacement in kilometers.
Please explain how I would do this problem? Do I add all of the numbers once i find the sine and cosine?
