A bicycle travels 9.50 km due east in 0.740 h, then 9.20km 15.0 degrees east of north in 0.730 h, and finally another 9.50km east in 0.740h to reach its destination. The time lost in turning is negligible. Assume that east is in the +x direction and north is in the +y direction. What is the magnitude of the average velocity for the entire trip? Give answer in km/h
