A sailor steers a boat on a trip with three legs. Find the boat’s total displacement (magnitude and direction) relative to its starting point. 

  • First, the boat moves 5.0 km due west.

  • Then, it turns around and goes 3.0 km at 25° north of east.

  • Finally, the boat changes direction again and moves 4.0 km at 30° south of east

1.4 km 30 south of east
