An explorer in Antarctica leaves his shelter during a whiteout. He takes 50 m northeast, next 180 m at 72° north of west, and then 150 m due south. Save the explorer from becoming hopelessly lost by giving him the displacement, calculated by using the method of components, that will return him to his shelter. Given x-component (w/ sign direction) y-component (w/ sign direction) A = 50 m NE 35.355 m 35.355 m B = 180 m 72o NW -55.623 m 171.190 m C = 150 m S 0 m -150 m Resultant What is the resultant of both x-component and y-component.
