Determine the coordinates of town T from John's initial position.
Let John's initial position be the origin . John travels 40 km on a bearing of .
To convert a bearing to a standard angle (measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis), we use .
For a bearing of :The coordinates of T are :
So, the coordinates of town T are .
Determine the displacement of Attah from town T.
Attah moves 35 km from T on a bearing of .
For a bearing of :The displacement vector from T to Attah's final position is :
Calculate Attah's final position from John's initial position.
Attah's final position is the sum of T's coordinates and Attah's displacement from T:
Using :
The position of Attah from John's initial position is approximately km.
The position of Attah from John's initial position is .
Part b(4,4)
Given and the vectors , , and .
Calculate the coordinates of B.
The position vector of B is .
So, the coordinates of B are .
Calculate the coordinates of C.
The position vector of C is .
So, the coordinates of C are .
Calculate the coordinates of D.
The position vector of D is .
So, the coordinates of D are .
