Two people travel by helicopter, from Boston. They first travel 32 km, 45 degrees south of east Then they travel 53 km, 26 degrees north of west. Finlay, they travel 26 km, 18 degrees east of south. What will their final displacement be relative to Boston? Will they be back in Boston? If you look at a map of the surrounding Boston area, what city will the end up in if it's not Boston?

When you add the components of the three vectors, they ended up 29.5 km away from Boston, about 35 degrees west of south.

On a map it looks like they were in the vicinity of Walpole/Foxboro.
