I just need help drawing this picture

summersnow8 · Answer

$$\left| D \right|= 320m, \theta= 10 $$

anonymous · Answer

I'll take a look at it if you want to. I'm not promising anything.

summersnow8 · Answer

i just have to make it in mastering physics online, but I cant seem to get the vectors to point in the right direction

anonymous · Answer

This seems relatively easy, but I'm actually a bit lost in translation and looking up what you mean with "north of west". :p

summersnow8 · Answer

like NW

anonymous · Answer

yes, but which of those axises (north or west) does the angle correspond to? In other words, is it 32° with the northaxis or 32° with the westaxis? I'm assuming it's the west axis, but I'm not sure.

summersnow8 · Answer

well i think it is suppose to look like this: but i cant get it to look like that

anonymous · Answer

Well, yeah that was what I was drawing. I don't understand what the problems is if you have the solution at hand and why you would need to physically draw them in the first place. Do you have some sort of grid to draw it in. That's the only way in which a more exact drawing would demonstrate a better understanding, otherwise it's just an artistic problem and I don't understand how I could help you with that.

I think I got it figured out, thanks

anonymous · Answer

k, good luck

anonymous · Answer

32 deg North of West means 32 degrees clockwise from the West axis.

anonymous · Answer

@dfav that's what I figured

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, I thought you did. She seemed unsure. Keep up the good work!
