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

Imagine you want to measure the height of an inaccessible mountain peak on an island in the South Pacific. First, you line up your boat so it is due west of the peak, and then find that the peak is an angle of 12 degrees up from the horizon. Next, you move your boat a displacement of 25km, 37 degrees south of east. How tall is the peak of the mountain?
