- The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors A,B ,c Cand . Vector A is along a measured trail and is 1550 m in a direction 25.0° north of east. Vector B is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the direction is 41.0° east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector C is 10.0° north of west. The hiker ends up back where she started, so the resultant displacement is zero, or A+ B+ C = 0.
