Problem

From the same starting point, Student 1 walks 150 m150\,\text{m} due east and then 100 m100\,\text{m} due north. Student 2 walks 150 m150\,\text{m} due east and then 100 m100\,\text{m} due south. (i) Determine the displacement of Student 1 relative to Student 2. (ii) Write the negative of this relative displacement, giving magnitude and direction for both answers.
