Question
The following problem involves directions in the form of bearing, which we defined in this section. Remember that bearing is always measured from a north-south line.
A man wandering in the desert walks 2.6 miles in the direction S 33° W. He then turns 90° and walks 3.3 miles in the direction N 57° W. At that time, how far is he from his starting point, and what is his bearing from his starting point? (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
