A novice golfer on the green takes three strokes to sink the ball. The successive displacements are 3.80 m to the north, 1.90 m northeast, and 1.10 m at 30.0° west of south. Starting at the same initial point, an expert golfer could make the hole in what single displacement?
(need angle in degrees north of east)
