Electric field help, please?
Find the electric field at P in the figure shown below. (Take r = 1.5 m and θ = 41°. Measure the angle counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.)

Homework Equations

E=(8.99e9*q)/r^2

The Attempt at a Solution

Ive been doing (8.99e9*q)/r^2=a and then multiplying a by sin of 41 degrees=b. Then, multiplying b by 2=.58 because theyre the same force and you add them together, but that's not right and I don't know what to do differently. I feel like the angle would also be 41 (or 319) because they're even forces but I don't know.
Thanks for any help.
(8.99e9*1/9e-9)/1.5^2=.4439*sin41=.29*2=.58

sin(a)=opposite side/hypotenuse

cos(a)= close side/hypotenuse
which one should be used here?

The 2 charges create the same electric field so the two add up but at an angle. Consider the 2 fields as forces acting on a point and see how they add up.
