(
7. Colin walks 75.0° north of east for 0.800 km. Dennis doesn't like walking along a diagonal path, so he walks due
east, then turns due north to meet up with Colin. How far does Dennis walk due east? How far does he then
walk due north? Verify that your answer is correct using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Step 1: Given data

Distance traveled by the person 1 is d equals 0.800 space km towards  75 to the power of degree north of east.

Person 2 travels first in east direction then in north direction to meet person 1.

Find:

(a) Distance traveled by the person 2 in the east direction.

(b) Distance traveled by the person 2 in the north direction.

(c) Verify answer using Pythagorean theorem.
