1. A football player runs directly down the field for 35 m before turning to the right at an angle of 25 degrees from his original direction and running an additional 15 m before getting tackled. What is the magnitude and direction of the runner's total displacement?
Pythagorean Theorem (c^2 = a^2 + b^2)
Sin, Cosine, and Tangent Functions
Inverse of Sin, Cosine, and Tangent functions
3. I do not have nay idea how to approach this question. Vectors is an easy concept, but I probably do not understand the context of the question itself. According to the textbook, the answer is "49 m at 7.3 degrees to the right of down-field".
