Someone pleaaaase help! I literally have no idea. Find the resultant displacement of a bear searching for berries on the mountain. The bear heads 55.0º north of west for 15.0 m; then it turns and heads to the west for another 7.00 m. (Use trigonometry to answer, but remember to draw a diagram to help your understanding.) Give both the magnitude and the angle in your answer.
