Suppose you walk 7.5m in a direction 20degrees west of north and then travel 17m in a direction 40degrees south of west. a) how far are you from your starting point in meters? b) what is the angle, in degrees, of the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position measured south of west? c) repeat a, but for the 2nd leg you walk 17m in a direction 40degrees north of east. d) repeat a, but now you first walk 7.5m in a direction 40degrees south of west and 17m in a direction 20degrees east of south
