Respuesta :

Rx= 3.5 km

Ry= 2.9 km

[tex]R_x = A_x + B_x + C_x[/tex]

[tex]A_x[/tex] is negative as the vector is in third quadrant.

[tex]B_x[/tex] is positive as it points in the first quadrant.

[tex]C_x[/tex] is positive as it points in the fourth quadrant.

Hence,

[tex]R_x = -1.6 + 3.9 + 1.2[/tex]

[tex]R_x = 3.5[/tex] km

[tex]R_y = A_y + B_y + C_y[/tex]

[tex]A_y[/tex] is negative as it is in third quadrant.

[tex]B_y[/tex] is positive as it is in first quadrant.

[tex]C_y[/tex] is negative as it is in fourth quadrant.

[tex]R_y = -2.8 + 6.4 - 0.7[/tex]

[tex]R_y = 2.9[/tex] km
