A grasshopper makes four jumps. The displacement vectors are (1) 22.0 cm, due west; (2) 27.0 cm, 43.0 ° south of west; (3) 29.0 cm, 59.0 ° south of east; and (4) 26.0 cm, 54.0 ° north of east. Find (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of the resultant displacement. Express the direction as a positive angle with respect to due west.

im feeling kinda lazy to answer but i can tell u how... it'll help alot if you draw a diagram to see the resultant position. from there on, you can count the magnitude and dispacememnt. here;s the formula for magnitude btw : square root of a squared plus b squared.
in physics vectors mens they having both the magnitude & direction
