find the resultant of following displacements: (a) 20km 30 degree south of east (b) 50km due west (c) 40km north east (d) 30km 60 degree south of west

Use trig to break down each vector into NSEW components. 20km * sin(30) = 10.0 km south 20km * cos(30) = 17.3 km east 50km west 40km * sin(45) = 28.3 km north 40km * cos(45) = 28.3 km east 30km * sin(60) = 28.0 km south 30km * cos(60 = 15.0 kmk west sum comes to 19.4 km west 9.7 km south 21.7 km 26.6° south of west
