A man is lost in a thick forest. Confused and clueless as to what direction to take, he walks a certain distance and then turns and walks a certain distance again, and then turns and walks a certain distance. After his last step, he notices that he has just reached the point where he has started. If his first two displacements are respectively 5.0 m, 25 degrees North of East and 24.0 m, 30 degrees West of North, what is his third displacement?
