Question

Im willing to learn, please help. Sarah walks 5 m North, 10 m East and 3 m North. What is the measure of the angle of her direction?

Answer 1

Aha, so does it matter if she walks in this order or not? Like suppose she walked 10 m East, then 3 m North then 5 m North, would she end up at the same place?

Answer 2

yeah it doesnt matter, because you'll end up adding 3m and 5m together right?

Answer 3

Yup yup, so now see, can you draw a triangle of the situation going on, like just with net East movement and net North movement

Answer 4

Answer 5

8^2 + 10^2?

Answer 6

Not quite, what you ill use is tangent, since you want the angle:
\[\tan \theta = \frac{8}{10}\]
