A basketball player runs a pattern consisting of three segments. The corresponding three displacement vectors A, B, and C have equal magnitudes of 5.9 m. Displacement A is directed forward and parallel to one side of the court, B is directed forward at a 45° angle with respect to the side of the court, and C is directed forward and parallel to the side of the court. With a scale drawing, use the graphical technique to find the magnitude and direction of the displacement vector for a straight-line dash between the starting and finishing points. Give the magnitude and direction you found.
