MHB Magnitude and angle of vector sum

[Dethrone]

I thought this was a standard physics question in which the answer would have been 40.9 or 49.1, but I just re-read the question: "angle it makes with the positive x-axis." So yes, your answer was what they were looking for :D

 

[I like Serena]

Rido the back of the book says 139.1 (Dull) lol

I only read:

So yes, 139.1 is right

(Rofl)

@ILS lol you're hilarious

@Rido but wouldn't the answer be 139 no matter what because it was -41. not 41. i suppose the answer could be left as -1 but that's the same as 139 (Wondering)

@ILS
It's been a while since I actually read the question, so I was convinced 40.1 was the right answer...so while I was writing my answer, I realized that I got 139.1 too (Rofl) But I was too lazy to erase what I had already said (Nod)

@ineedhelpnow, in physics, they don't care about the angle 139.1. they care more about the related acute angle from the horizontal or vertical axis. The related acute is a positive angle.

it shouldn't be much of a surprise when i say that I am terrible at physics... (Blush)
