You are on a treasure hunt and your map says: Walk due east for 42 paces, then walk 29.1° north of west for 37 paces, and finally walk due north for 21 paces. What is the magnitude of your displacement (in paces)?
Please help!!! A simple explanation with answer would be great!

The treasure map in the figure gives the following directions to the buried treasure: “Start at the old oak tree, walk due north for 540 paces, then due east for 140 paces. Dig.” But when you arrive, you find an angry dragon just north of the tree. To avoid the dragon, you set off along the yellow brick road at an angle 60 degrees east of north. After walking 400 paces you see an opening through the woods.
Which direction should you go to reach the treasure?
In degrees west of north?
How far should you go to reach the treasure?
How many paces?
i am still having problems with
Which direction should you go to reach the treasure?

Buried Treasure. Ahmed has half of a treasure map, which indicates that the treasure is buried in the desert 2x + 6 paces from Castle Rock. Vanessa has the other half of the map. Her half indicates that to find the treasure, one must get to Castle Rock, walk x paces to the north, and then walk 2x + 4 paces to the east. If they share thier information, then they can find x and save a lot of digging. What is x?

You are on a treasure hunt and your map says, “Walk due west for 52 paces, then walk 30.0 degrees north of west for 42 paces, and finally walk due north for 25 paces. What is the magnitude of the component of your displacement in the direction due west?
I need examples of how to do problems. I have the answers just not how one should get the answer. Thanks!
