Acyclist makes the following trip along two vectors; he travels 9km to the north and then travels 6km to the east
a) total distance traveled
b) find graphically and analytic what the resulting disposition of the cyclist is with respect to the starting point as well as what it's direction and the value of the angle measured with respect to the east.

Final distance from the origin: 10.82 km. the vector points as shown in the attached image.

Angle with respect to the east:

Explanation:

Please refer to the attached image. The cyclist's trip is indicated with the green arrows (9 km to the north followed by 6 km to the east.

So his final position is at the tip of this last vector, and indicated by the orange vector drawn form the point where the trip starts to the cyclist's final location.

We observe that this orange vector is in fact the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle, and we can estimate the distance from the origin by the Pythagorean theorem:

Notice that this is NOT the actual number of km that the cyclist pedaled to reach the final point.

Now, to find the value of the angle , we need to use trigonometry, and in particular the tangent function gives us the ratio between the side of the triangle "opposite" to the angle, divided the side "adjacent" to the angle:

Now we can find the value of the angle by using the arctan function:

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
