The discussion revolves around finding the resultant of two vectors, S and T, defined by their magnitudes and angles relative to the x-axis. The problem involves resolving these vectors into their rectangular components.
There is an ongoing exploration of the problem, with participants offering guidance on using trigonometric functions and addressing questions about angles. Some participants seek clarification on the geometric relationships involved.
One participant notes the need for a complete problem statement template to facilitate further assistance. There is an emphasis on understanding the angles in the context of right triangles.
The problem statement gives one of the angles of each triangle. Did you remember that the complementary angles of a right triangle sum to 90 degrees?eddiedowen said:How do I know what the other angles are aside from 90 degrees?
