Edward travels 150 kilometers due west and then 200 kilometers in a direction 60° north of west. What is his displacement in the westerly direction?

150 km due west is simply 150km displacement west For 200km at an angle of 60 degrees north of west, you would determine the vector in the x-axis (W/E axis) only, which would be the magnitude (200km) times the cos of the angle Finally you would add the two displacements
