Instead of trying to make a direct shot, the player passes the puck to a teammate who is six meters away in a direction of 30 degrees. to the right of the direction to the goal. What is the final displacement needed to score a goal.

|dw:1348117903774:dw| Drawing a pic helps me. Is this how you interpret it. We have to find the distance and direction now. hmm

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, thats the same diagram i drew....I tried using sin law and then cosine law but thing werent looking so good

anonymous · Answer

i was thinking the law of cosines to find the missing distance then use the law of sines to find the missing angle

anonymous · Answer

but the angle is a little tricky because you probably need to say it in terms of degrees from north

anonymous · Answer

Once you find the missing distance use the law of signs to find the angle of the top most corner of my drawing instead. That angle, from what we know about geometry will be the degrees west of north
