Vector A= 5.00 m (See the attached image for the graphical representation)
Vector B=17.0m
Vector C=15.0 m
Homework Equations
Pythagorean Theorem, Basic trigonometry
The Attempt at a Solution
Finding the magnitude of the resultant vector is not where I'm having issues. I just can't figure out how to find theta (the angle of depression of the resultant vector). The only thing I could think of is to set up the X and Y components of the vector, but I don't know the lengths of those so I can't get any futher than that to calculate the angle.
Thanks in Advance,
Colin
