A woman sailing a boat at night is following directions to a dock. The instructions read to first sail 27.5 m in a direction66.0º north of east from her current location, and then travel 30.0 m in a direction 112º north of east (or 22.0º west ofnorth). If the woman makes a mistake and travels in the opposite direction for the second leg of the trip, where will she endup? Compare this location with the location of the dock
