Answer:
51°
Explanation:
Please see attached photo for explanation.
In the diagram, R is the resultant and θ is the angle of the displacement of the resultant.
The value of θ can be obtained as follow:
Angle θ =?
Opposite = 4.5 miles
Adjacent = 3.7 miles
Using Tan ratio:
Tan θ = Opposite / Adjacent
Tan θ = 4.5 / 3.7
Tan θ = 1.2162
Take the inverse of Tan
θ = Tan¯¹ 1.2162
θ ≈ 51°
Thus, the angle of the displacement of the resultant is 51°
