How Do You Calculate Resultant Displacement in Vector Problems?

so would i take 180 - 27.724?

 

[learningphysics]

which gives me an angle of -27.724? but how do u have a negative angle?

Remember that there are two angles with the same tan... the other angle is 180 + this angle.

yes, exactly.

 

[anglum]

so the angle for my answer is 152.276?
