A dog slips out of its collar while going for a walk and runs away at full speed. By the time the owner calls out for her to stop, she has already run 28 m straight east. When she hears her owner call out she runs back 9 m straight west and then stops at a fire hydrant. What is the magnitude and direction of the dog's overall displacement
