20. Quantitative addition/subtraction • Writing the vector in terms of its components using trig functions • Writing the length of a vector given its components • Writing the vector using unit vector notation • Writing vector sums using components • Write the vector (A-B) using at least 3 different mathematical representations

21. Example problem 3.40 The treasure map in the figure gives the following directions to the buried treasure: "Start at the old oak tree, walk due north for 500 paces, then due east for 100 paces. Dig." But when you try that path you find an angry dragon by the tree. To avoid the dragon, you set off along the yellow brick road at an angle 60o east of north. After walking 300 paces you see an opening through the woods. Which direction should you go and how far in order to reach the treasure?
