A canoe sets out on a course given by the vector <5,11>. What is the length of the canoe's course to the nearest unit?

Question

i need the distance to the nearest degree

Answer 1

Distance is not measured in degrees.

The length of the vector is:

 

√(5² + 11²)

√(25 + 121)

√146

12.0830460

 

To the nearest unit the distance is 12.
