Why would you do this??
You are in charge of a group of elementary school teacher on a field trip orienteering in the woods. Being a confident physics student, you are able to predict the displacement (no, really, I can't! lol) of the group of students Your group walked 290m [North 35 degrees East], then 395m [West 22 degrees South], then 350m [South 57 degrees East], and finally 640m [West 17 degrees North]
My idea was to take each vector and take its "x" and "y" components. Then I would add them to get one really big "x" component and one really big "y" component. But i guess i can do that cause they are different drections.... I dont know what to do from here....
