Suppose you walk 19.5 m straight west, as represented by vector A in the drawing, and then 29 m straight north, as represented by vector B in the drawing. Associate east with positive $x$, and associate positive $y$ with north. Part (a) ? How far, in meters, are you from your starting point? R= 34.94 m ? Correct! Part (b) What is the angle of the displacement, in degrees, measured west of north ? R B A
