In an orienteering class, you have the goal of moving as far (straight-line distance) from base camp as possible by making three straight-line moves. You may use the following displacements in any order: (a) →a, 2.0 km due east (directly toward the east); (b) →b, 2.0 km 30° north of east (at an angle of 30° toward the north from due east); (c) →c, 1.0 km due west. Alternatively, you may substitute either −→b for →b or −→c for →c. What is the greatest distance you can be from base camp at the end of the third displacement? (We are not concerned about the direction.)

A clever adventurer on a treasure hunt reads the following instructions from his map: Walk 347 m east of a large acacia tree, then 764 m at a direction 25° north of east, then 465 m in a southwesternly direction. Because he studied physics in college, he uses vector addition using graphical methods to make his search easier. According to his graphs, how far and in what direction should he walk to get directly to the treasure? Please help me in solving this through PARALLELOGRAM METHOD using cosine and sine law

You pilot an airplane with the intent to fly 399 km in a direction 51.0 ° south of east from the starting airport. Air traffic control requires you to first fly due south for 81.5 km A) After completing the 81.5-km flight due south, how far are you from your destination? B) In what direction should you point your airplane to complete the trip? Give your answer as an angle relative to due C) your airplane has an average ground speed of 477 km/h, what estimated time of travel should you give to your passengers after completing the initial 81.5 km south? Plz include units.
Gandalf the Grey started in the Forest of Mirkwood at a point with coordinates (0,1)and arrived in the Iron Hills at the point with coordinates (1,6). If he began walking in the direction of the vector v=4i+2j and changes direction only once, when he turns at a right angle, what are the coordinates of the point where he makes the turn correctly.
Gabby works as an aerial photographer. On one trip she takes off from the airport and flies 52km on a bearing N46°E. She then turns and flies for 43km until she is due east of the airport. How far is Gabby from the airport when she is due east of it? Is there more than one answer, explain.
A sailboat sails from Marblehead Harbor directly east for 45 nautical miles, then 60 degree south of east for 20 nautical miles, returns to an easterly heading for 30 nautical miles, and sails 30 degreeeast of north for 10 nautical miles, then west for 62 nautical miles. At that time the boat becomes becalmed and the auxiliary engine fails to start. The crew decides to notify the Coast Guard of their position. What is their position?
Oliver Queen is stranded on the remote island of Lian Yu. He knows that here is an enemy camp 15 miles away directly northeast of his current position. He hikes for 6 miles along a path that runs 28 degrees north of due east then changes courses and hikes another 7 miles in the direction 41 degrees east of due north. How far is he from the camp? In what direction should he hike to reach it?
Solve the following problem using analytical techniques: Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? (If you represent the two legs of the walk as vector displacements A and B, as in Figure 3.58, then this problem asks you to find their sum R=A+B.)
