Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, all we need to do is draw a triangle.
From the we can deduce that
From that, we can draw our triangle as we know that tan(x) is the opposite side over the adjacent side. Attached is that triangle. Through the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find that the hypotenuse of this right triangle is
Now all we need to do is take the sin of this triangle, which is the opposite side over the hypotenuse
This gives us the value of which is our answer.
<h3>Answer: Parallelogram</h3>
You could use the parallelogram rule to add the vectors, or you could use the tip-to-tail method (your textbook might call it the "head to tail method" but it's the same idea).
An example of the parallelogram method is shown below with adding the vector u = (-4,4) in red to the vector v = (8,2) in blue to get the vector w = (4,6) in green. The green resultant vector is one of the diagonals of the parallelogram
Side note: The other diagonal is either u-v or v-u depending on your reference point.
