Steps on adding vectors:
1. Draw out the lines of direction.
2. Mark origin; draw "shortest distance" from origin to destination. (creating hypotenuse)
3. Define positive axes (N and E are positive, S and W are negative).
4. Group X and Y lines together; add X's together and Y's together.
5. Use Pythagorean theorem (c2 = a2 + b2) to determine the shortest distance's distance.
6. Use trigonometry to find the required angle.
