Problem
During a trek, Meera starts from her base camp and walks 2km due north, followed by 6km due east, and then 5km due south.
(i) Determine the total distance she has walked so far.
(ii) Using a suitable geometrical method, find the magnitude of her resultant displacement from the base camp.
(iii) Calculate how much further (distance and direction) Meera must walk, in a straight line, to return directly to the base camp.
