Ok, finally got it. Y=356sin9-313sin26 X=356cos9+313cos26 These values are for the latter problem that I posted. Not the first one.

And yes they are correct angles.

Are you saying use cos to compute both x's and both y's. no sin?

Yea sorry I was doing a different version of the problem in my last post. So assuming we are using the first picture...how would I know when to add and subtract and which go in the X equation and the Y because I am obviously missing something here.

Problem shouldn't be that hard. I have done examples identical to this and got them correct but the computer won't accept my answer for this one! First I summed X and Y x=356cos(9) + 313sin(26) and y y=356sin(9) + 313cos26 Then I squared these two values, added them, and took the square...

Two forces, 489 N at 11 ◦ and 444 N at 25 ◦ are applied to a car in an effort to accelerate it What is the magnitude of the resultant of these two forces? Answer in units of N.
