Problem

A hiker travels along a straight north–south trail in four legs: +1.20 km+1.20\,\text{km}, −750 m-750\,\text{m}, +0.80 km+0.80\,\text{km}, and −300 m-300\,\text{m} (positive is north). (1) Determine the hiker’s resultant displacement in meters (include sign). (2) State the magnitude of this displacement and the direction (north or south).
