Two bicyclists, starting at the same place, are riding toward the same campground by different routes. One cyclist rides 1110 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1470 m before reaching the campground. The second cyclist starts out by heading due north for 1890 m and then turns and heads directly toward the campground. (a) At the turning point, how far is the second cyclist from the campground? (b) In what direction (measured relative to due east within the range (-180˚, 180˚]) must the second cyclist head during the last part of the trip?

A hiker decides to go for a walk in the woods. She walks 3 miles south of the cabin, then turns and walks 5 miles in the direction that makes 30 degree angle above the x axis (the axis that faces the east), then turns east for 2 miles (in the direction of the x axis), then turns north for 3 miles and finally 4 miles North-West with an angle of 120 degrees angle above the x axis. How far is the hiker from her cabin? (draw the vectors in the xy coordinate system.
I have no idea to how to start to this question: Wags (a dog) decides to go on a journey. He begins his journey by traveling 58 meters in a direction directly south. He then runs 100.0 meters in a direction 30◦north of west. During the last leg of his journey, he follows a scent for 59 meters in a direction 30◦east of north. What distance does Wags end up from his initial startingpoint?
