Step 1: Define the displacement vectors in component form.
Let north be the positive y-direction and east be the positive x-direction.
$\vec{d_1} = 4.25 \text{ km south} = (0)\hat{i} + (-4.25)\hat{j} \text{ km}$
$\vec{d_2} = 2.75 \text{ km west} = (-2.75)\hat{i} + (0)\hat{j} \text{ km}$
$\vec{d_3} = 1.50 \text{ km north} =
