PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Using graphical method solve this problem:
Suppose you first walk A in a direction of B west of north then C in a direction D south of west. You rest for 20 minutes and
started to compute the distance you traveled. Take A, B, C and D found in the table below. (You may use scale such as 1cm =
2m in your drawing)
A. Sketch the problem in a Cartesian plane.
B. How far are you from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting
point to your final position (resultant R)?
C. What is the angle between AC ?
D. What is the angle between your first walk A to the resultant R?
Final answer:
A. Refer to Figure 1.
B. Resultant, R is equal to 4.8 cm, which is equivalent to 24 m due to the scaling
so, R= 24 m in a direction of 8 degrees, SW
C. <AC = 70 degrees
D. <AR = 77 degrees
