Oasis B is 25 km due east of oasis A. Starting from oasis A, a camel walks 24 km in a direction 19° south of east and then walks 5.5 km due north. How far is the camel then from oasis B?
For this problem I tried to set 3 different vectors. I named the vector A,B,C. Two of the vectors had only a y component while another had both x and y components. After I found out what all the components were I used the data to try to find the x and y components of vector r. After this I took the magnitude of the vector. I thought that I was doing the correct procedure but I am not coming up with the correct response. Help would be greatly appreciated.
