Problem

A drone takes off from the origin and follows three successive straight-line paths: (i)

4\,\text{m}

at an angle of

-60^{\circ}

(measured from the positive

x

–axis), (ii)

6\,\text{m}

120^{\circ}

, and (iii)

5\,\text{m}

\dfrac{\pi}{2}\,\text{rad}

. Calculate the coordinates of the drone’s position after completing all three legs.
