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

b 50

Step-by-step explanation:

just did it

Answer 2

R=50 meters

Step-by-step 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=√(2500) =50`

`R=50\ meters`
