Use the graphical method of for adding vectors to find the total displacement of a person who walks the following three paths (displacements) on a flat field. First, he walks 25 m in a direction 49 ° north of east. Then, he walks 23 m heading 15° north of east. Finally, he turns and walks 32 m in a direction 68° south of east.
