Question

The diagram shows two vectors that point west and north. A right triangle with the base labeled 40 meters and the height labeled 30 meters. The hypotenuse is a dotted arrow labeled R. What is the magnitude of the resultant vector? 10 meters 50 meters 1200 meters 2500 meters

Answer 1

Answer:

R=50 meters

Explanation:

We'll use the Pythagoras's theorem

$R^2=a^2+b^2$

A right triangle with legs of a=40 m and b=30 m has an hypotenuse of

$R^2=30^2+40^2=900+1600$

$R=\sqrt{2500} =50$

$R=50\ meters$
