A student bikes to school by traveling first d_N = 1.10 {miles} north, then d_W = 0.500 {miles} west, and finally d_S = 0.200 {miles} south
A student bikes to school by traveling first d_N = 1.10 {miles} north, then d_W = 0.500 {miles} west, and finally d_S = 0.200 {miles} south. If a bird were to start out from the origin (where the student starts) and fly directly (in a straight line) to the school, what distance d_b would the bird cover?
