Most days after lunch, I like to take a stroll around campus ( given it’s not too hot ). Suppose on this day, I walk 4.38 meters 53.50 degrees north-east. If I then walk another 3.24 meters north, how far will I have to walk in a straight line to get back to the physics building where I started

You go on a hike with some friends. First, you travel 1.7 miles in a direction due west. Then, you spend some time checking Twitter and not paying attention to where you're walking. Once you look back up from your phone, you are at a ranger station that is 2.1 miles in a direction 27 degrees west of north from your starting point. How far, and in what direction, did you travel while checking Twitter?
To get to his office from home, Greg walks 7 blocks north and then 3 blocks east. After work he meets some friends at a cafe; to get there he walks 2 blocks south and 6 blocks west. All blocks are 660 feet long. What is the straight-line distance from the cafe to his home?

You go on a long hike by first walking 25 km southeast (i.e., 45° south of east) from your car. You then stop and camp for the night. On the second day, you walk 40 km in a direction 60° north of east. In what direction, as measured from the position of your car, is your final position? (Give your answer to the nearest degree.)
You will be hiking to a lake with some of your friends by following the trails indicated on a map at the trailhead. The map says that you will travel 5.30 miles directly north, then 6.01 miles in a direction 35.0 degrees east of north, then finally 1.10 miles in a direction 15.0 degrees north of east.Assume north to be +y and east to be +xAt the end of this hike, how far will you be from where you started?
one day you go hiking at a nearby nature preserve. at first, you follow the straight, clearly marked trails. from your starting point, you travel 2.00 miles down the 1st trail. then you turn to your left by 30.0 degrees to follow a 2nd trail for 1.40 miles. next, you turn to your right by 160 degrees and follow a third trail for 1.90 miles. at this point you are getting very tired and would like to go back. you would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods. how far to your right should you turn, and how far do you have to walk, to go directly back to the darting point. what degree turn to the right must "I" take, and how many miles must I walk back? I know the distance is 2.104 miles, but I cannot figure out the degree angle.

as a test of orienteering skills, your physics class holds a contest in a large open field. Each contestant is told to travel 20.8 m due north from the starting point, then 38.0 m due east, and finally 18.0 m in the direction 33.0 west of south. After specified displacements, a contestant will find a silver dollar hidden under a rock the winner is the person who takes the shortest tme to reach the location of the silver dollar. remembering what you learned in class, you run on a straight line from the starting point to the hidden coin how far and in what direction do you run?
