Two vectors added using the tip to tail method. There is a 12 meter vector west added to a 5 meter vector north in a right triangle. The hypotenuse is a dashed arrow labeled R. What is the magnitude of the resultant vector? 13 miles 17 miles 60 miles 169 miles

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The two vectors together with the resultant vector forms a right angled triangle. The resultant vector R can be gotten using the formula:

R² = 12² + 5²

R² = 144 + 25

R² = 169

R = √169 = 13

R = 13 miles

The resultant vector is 13 miles

The direction is gotten from:

θ = tan⁻¹(5/12)

θ = 22.62° North West

The resultant vector is therefore 13 miles North West

5050 i think
