−(2×32×46cos140°)
b

=1024+2116−2944cos140°
b

=3140−2944cos140°
b

=3140+2255.234841
b

=5395.234841
b=73.45
By Sine Rule,
sinC

=
sin140°
73.45
sinC=
73.45
32sin140°
sinC=0.2800
C=16.26°
The direction of the resultant
vector is measured from0°east
to the resultant, this angle isθ−90°,
90°is the total angle in
the first quadrant.
∴θ−90°=C+ϕ
ϕ=50°{Alternate angles are equal}
∴The direction of the car’s
resultant vector is50°+16.26°=66.26°south of east
