Solution
According to question diagram can be shown as below
Components of Vector A are
Ax=2.5×cos53.10 =1.5km
Ay=2.5×sin53.10=2km
Components of Vector B
Bx=2×cos00=2km
By=0km
Resultant vector C can be written as
Cx=Ax+Bx=1.5+2=3.5km
Cy=Ay+By=2+0 =2 km
Therefore distance from starting point
C=Cx2+Cy2=(3.5)2+22=4.03km
Therefore hiker is 4.03 Km from starting point.
