The starting location is an old oak tree. According to the map, the treasure’s location is found by proceeding 7.45 paces North from the oak tree and then 6.62 paces Northeast. At this location, an iron pin is sunk into the ground. From the iron pin, walk 2.59 paces South and dig. How far (in paces) from the oak tree is the spot at which digging occurs?arrow_forward
