man in a maze makes three consecutive displacements. His first displacement is 6.50 m westward, and the second is 22.0 m northward. At the end of his third displacement he is back to where he started. Use the graphical method to find the magnitude and direction of his third displacement. magnitude direction Magnitude M Direction °south of east
