Cedar has been trying to get Liam's attention for weeks. He decides to make a paper airplane to hit Liam in the back of his head (and grab his attention). If the paper airplane flies 2.64 m [W 26˚ N] and then is caught by the wind, which causes it to travel 3.21 m [S 12˚ E]. What is the paper airplane's total displacement? (please hand-write it and make it clear)
