A car travels 250 km east, then turns 25° south of east and goes 115 km. What is the resultant distance traveled?
+36916 Distance east = 250 + 115 cos (-25)
distance south = 115 sin (-25) (in this situation the - signs are really not needed)
Then Use Pyrthagorean theorem to find the
RESULTANTdistance = sqrt ( (250 +115 cos25)^2 + (115 sin 25)^2 )
