The Fountain of Youth is a legendary spring which is said to restore youth or grant immortality to anyone who drank from its waters. According to legend, it was discovered by Spanish Explorer Juan Poncé de Léon in 1523. Years later, the pirate Jack Sparrow, leamed about the fountain and set off in a small boat with a compass to find the fountain. Jack Sparrow sailed 154.2 km in the direction 36.5° south of west (displacement vector A). He then encounters a storm which causes him to sail 23.1° north of east covering 113.3 km (displacement vector B).

A map in a pirate’s log gives directions to the location of a buried treasure. 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?

A woman sailing a boat at night is following directions to a dock. The instructions read to first sail 27.5 m in a direction 66.0° north of east from her current location, and then travel 30.0 m in a direction 112° north of east (or 22.0° west of north.) We can represent the first leg of the trip with a vector A, and the second leg of the trip with a vector B. The dock is located at a location A + B. Show that the sum of the vectors gives the result shown in the figure below.
