B. Solve and graph the following problems. 1. You found a treasure map and it said: Start at the well, go 100m straight south, then 30m 40° north of west, then 25m straight east, and finally 45m, 75° south of east. Using the Polygon Method, how far from the well and in what direction is the hidden treasure?

A trapper walks a 5.0-km straigt4ine distance from his cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Use a graphical method (the parallelogram rule) to determine the trapper’s displacement directly to the east and displacement directly to the north that sum up to his resultant displacement vector. If the trapper walked only in directions east and north, zigzagging his way to the lake, how many kilometers would he have to walk to get to the lake?

A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 1.00 102 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline lo the tree is = 35.0 (Fig. P1.53). How wide is the river? Figure P1.53
Please don't reject I req to u solve for me ok. Topic: Vector 1. A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then210 m in a direction east of south, and then 280 m at east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Use a scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement. Solve only clean handwriting ok must. that's the only information that was provided
5.You start at the origin on an ay plane. You walk 20 meters at an angle of 25 degrees north of the +x axis. After that, you turn, then walk 20 metors at an angle 45 degrees north of the +x axis. Finally, you turn and walk 10 meters at an angle 15 degrees south of the +x axis. Your friend, still at the origin, walks in a straight line to you in the fastest route. What angle do thoy take, and how many moters do they go?

1. You have been hired to survey a new national park area. Youbegin at Point A on the map. You had originally planned to builda bridge from Point 1 to Point B, but have found the ground atPoint 1 is too unstable. So, you decided to build the bridge fromPoint A to Point B. You know the distance from Point A to Point 1is 30m. Within the AB1 triangle the angle at Point B is 45°, andthe angle at Point A is 20°.How long will the bridge need to be?2. You scout the territory northwest of B for 62m. You determineyou can build a flat trail here. This trail will end at point C. Usingan imaginary line due north from B you find the angle from B toC is 22°.How far north is Point C from Point B? 3. There is a hill at Point C, and you climb it to get an idea of whereto travel to next. You see the edge of a forest (Point D). Youclimb back down to the bottom of the hill (Point C) and walk toPoint D. You track your distance and find you have travelled98m. Using a tool you find the angle from Point D to…
