A jogger runs at a constant speed of one mile every 6 minutes in the direction S32°E for 22 minutes and then in the direction N15°E for the next 15 minutes. Approximate the straight-line distance from the endpoint to the starting point of the jogger's course.

I know you need to use law of cosines to solve, but I can't figure out how to draw the triangle and which sides correspond with certain angles.

can you explain what S32°E and N15°E mean?
