    1. You sail 3 nautical miles \( 10^{\circ}\) north of west and 7 nautical miles due north.
      • Construct vectors that model the legs of your journey.

      • How far are you from where you started?

    2. Time to head back
      • Construct a vector that represents your return trip.
      • Add the three vectors you have constructed.
