Question

Problem 1:
A man sailing a boat follows the directions to a dock. The instructions stated that he has
to sail 25.0 m in a direction 60º E of N from his starting location, and then sail additional
35.0 m in a direction 50º E of S. How far will he be from his starting point?
Problem 2:
Suppose a pilot flies 15.0 km in a direction 60º N of E and then flies 30.0 km in a direction
15º N of E. Find the total distance R from the starting point and the direction θ of the
straight-line path to the final position.
