In a forest, an explorer walks 13 km due east, then 18 km north, then he rested for an hour. After resting, the explorer continued walking 3 km north and then finally reached the hidden cabin at 72 m west.  (a) What is the total distance walked?  b) What is the resulting displacement of the explorer from the starting point?

Choices

Total distance traveled = 34.072 km, Displacement = 24.6604 km, 58.3828 ° North of West

Total distance traveled = 27.043 km, Displacement = 24.6604 km, 58.3828 ° North of West

Total distance traveled = 34.072 km, Displacement = 24.6604 km, 58.3828 ° North of East

Total distance traveled = 27.043 km, Displacement = 24.6604 km, 58.3828 ° North of East
