Question

Two beetles run across flat sand, starting at the same point. Beetle 1 runs 0.58 m due east, then 0.81 m at 25^o north of due east. Beetle 2 also makes two runs; the first is 1.27 m at 42^o east of due north. What must be (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (relative to the east direction in the range of (-180°, 180°)) of its second run if it is to end up at the new location of beetle 1?
