Question

Help with application of vectors

Answer 1

Find the magnitude of the resultant force of two forces with magnitudes of 55 pounds and 85 pounds at angles of 65° and 125°, respectively. Round answers to the nearest hundredth of a pound or degree.

Answer 2

I got <23.24,49.84> <-48.75,69.62> i got for the magnitude 122.15

Answer 3

Can we see what you did?

Answer 4

Alright

Answer 5

x1, and y1 = 55cos65 and 55sin65
x2 and y2 = 85cos125 and 85sin125

Answer 6

and then to find magnitude did

Answer 7

sqrt((−25.51)^2 + (119.46)^2)

Answer 8

You added by components right?

Answer 9

I believe so

Answer 10

combined got <-25.51,119.46> bfore the magnitude

Answer 11

Then you are on the right track.
