(b) How far are you from your starting point? If you represent the two legs of the walk as vector displacements A and B, then this problem asks you to find their sum R = A + B. Enter to 3 significant figures R= m (c) What is the direction (angle) of a line connecting your starting point to your final position with respect to east (the positive x-axis)? Enter to 3 significant figures 8= degrees Sense-making: Is there an upper bound or a maximum value the resultant can have? Is your answer consistent with this upper bound?

1. ANALYTICAL METHOD OF ADDING VECTORS
Solve the same problem as PART 1 but this time analytically. START with the values
below. DO NOT USE VALUES FROM PART 1.
Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. Let the positive x-axis
coincide with east and the positive y-axis be oriented in the northern direction.
