A novice golfer on the green takes three strokes to sink the ball. The successive displacements of the ball are d1 = 4.08 m to the north, d2 = 1.90 m northeast, and d3 = 1.20 m at 30.0° west of south (see the figure below). Starting at the same initial point, an expert golfer could make the hole in what single displacement?
