You decide that you want to take a walk to enjoy the nice afternoon weather. You leave your house and walk 20 m due east. Then in some unknown direction for some unknown distance. From this unknown position, to get back home, you find that you have to travel 8 m west and 10 m north. How far and in what direction did you walk for your second leg of your trip (the unknown leg)?

You are observing a path which army ants take to harvest leaves. The ants first walk directly east for 1.00 feet, before turning 35 degrees north of east for 241mm. They then turn 57 degrees south of east for 0.633 yards before turning back around to walk over a 238 cm long branch which faces directly to the west. If the ants found their path blocked at the start of the branch, what direction and distance would the ants need...
