Transcribed Image Text:(
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.
