A hiker starts at a camp taken as the origin and moves along a straight track as follows: first 250 m250\,\text{m} east, then 180 m180\,\text{m} west, and finally 90 m90\,\text{m} east. (i) Determine the net displacement, giving both magnitude and direction. (ii) How much total distance has the hiker walked?
