SOH CAH TOA
The Attempt at a Solution
IM confused if northeast is enough information to solve the problem. I used SOH CAH TOA to find the lengths of the sides of the triangle and put northeast as 45 degrees but I am not sure if that correct. I subtracted the vectors and used the pathagreon theroum to find the displacement but my answer can out inncorrect.
