A car is driven 215 km west then 85km south west. Find the resultant displacement (magnitude and direction) from the Point of origin.
My solution would be to resolve the two vectors into components. How can I do this if there is no angle given?
In the solution to the problem, they are using 45 degrees as the angle. Where does the 45 come from? If you are not given an angle are you to assume the angle is 45 degrees?
Thanks!
