A bird flies from its nest 5 km in the direction 60° north of
east, where it stops to rest on a tree. It then flies 10 km in the direction due southeast to
land atop a telephone pole. Place an xy-coordinate system so that the origin is the bird's
nest, the
x-axis points east, and the y-axis points north.

At what point is the telephone pole?
