If anyone's got any hints or directions as to how to go about solving this problem, PLEASE help!
An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.6km, but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 7.8km at 50* north of due east. How far and in what direction must he travel no to reach base camp?
