15) (ex) You hike to a position 7.0 miles from the origin, at an angle of -35 degrees (or 325 degrees). Call this initial displacement R₁. From this location, you hike through an unknown displacement, R₂. You end up at a position 8.0 miles from the origin, at an angle of 250 degrees. This your resultant displacement vector R. (a) Make a diagram showing all three vectors roughly to scale. (b) Use the component method to determine the magnitude and direction of R₂. (Use clear, standard notation; show all details of your work. See PSL 3.4,6.)
