Finding the resultant graphically
what if its more of a square? like this http://tinypic.com/r/53k6ro/7 do you make it into a square and draw the resultant and measure?- kiraahhh

Question involving the mathematics of physics and trigonometry
I did that, i did sin -1 (2/4) and i got .5235987756 , but i don't know how to use that to get an answer- kiraahhh

Question involving the mathematics of physics and trigonometry
Sorry to bother again, I tried approaching this by finding the other leg (through Pythagorean Theorem) and got 3.46. Then I did a proportion, 90 / 4.0 = x / 3.46 , but I couldn't get an appropriate answer.- kiraahhh

Question involving trigonometry & river currents
So then how do I figure that out? He went across 100 m north then 150 m across, how do I figure out how long it took him? 150 / .75 which is 200 seconds?- kiraahhh

Question involving trigonometry & river currents
It doesn't say, but I guess I could do the following: 250 / .75 which is 333.33 seconds.. ?- kiraahhh

Question involving trigonometry & river currents
1. A man points his rowboat north from A to B, straight across a river of width 100 m. The river flows due east. The man starts across, rowing steadily at 0.75 m/s and reaches the other side of the river at point C, 150 m downstream from his starting point. What is the speed of the river...- kiraahhh
