actually i know that i have to find that angle using cosines

I know that the angle of 151 degrees is opposite the resultant and that i can use the law of cosines.

Homework Statement The displacement vectors A and B, when added together, give the resultant vector R, so that R= A+B . Use the data in the drawing and the fact that = 29° to find the magnitude R of the resultant vector and the angle θ that it makes with the +x axis. I am unsure how to...

okay so i have a right triangle and is the height that can be climbed the hypotenuse?

I was not too sure where to start. I know that I have both of the lengths but I am confused about how to approach the problem
