Map showing the hiker's path from the trailhead to the campsite.
Map showing the hiker's path from the trailhead to the campsite.
A hiker starts at a trailhead and walks \(3.0 \text{ km}\) due North. The hiker then turns and walks \(5.0 \text{ km}\) in a direction \(37^\circ\) South of East to reach a campsite. (Note: \(\sin 37^\circ \approx 0.60\); \(\cos 37^\circ \approx 0.80\)). What is the magnitude of the hiker's total displacement from the trailhead to the campsite?
