Component vectors positive or negative and angles positive or negative
Using + = east and north of origin: Total E-W displacement = (-)50 cos45 + 70 cos 30 = 25.266East of origin total N-S displacement = 50 sin45 + 70 sin 30 = 70.355 north of origin Since you're talking in terms of north-south and east-west of origin, you do have right triangles to deal with...- dwaynem
