hey thanks for replying! so i had the right triangle already made and i found the total distance that he needs to travel is 360.5m. But I am having a little trouble analayzing the velocity triangle... the the horizontal vector is 0.8 m/s but is the 2.4 m/s the the diagonal vector or the one...- 30294
