Question
This is a vector problem.
A man starts at home and runs 5 miles north and then 5 miles in a direction 23 degrees south of west. Now he wants to go back home in a straight line. How far does he need to go and in what direction?
so i found that the hypotenuse equals 5.4 miles but i cannot find the angle because it is not a right triangle.
