A ferry transports tourists among three islands. It sails from the first island to the second island, 5.63 km away, in a direction 37.0∘ north of east. It then sails from the second island to the third island in a direction 80.5∘ west of north. Finally, it returns to the first island, sailing in a direction 28.0∘ east of south. (a) Calculate the distance between the second and third islands. km (b) Calculate the distance between the first and third islands. km

The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors A→, B→, and C→. Vector A→ is along a measured trail and is 1510 m in a direction 21.0∘ north of east. Vector B→ is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the direction is 17.0∘ east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector C→ is 32.0∘ north of west. The hiker ends up back where she started, so the resultant displacement is zero, or A→ + B→ + C→ = 0. Find the magnitudes of (a) vector B→ and (b) vector C→. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
