I think the problem is worded well enough to decipher what is intended, but having a diagram provided can definitely be useful to avoid confusion or misinterpretation.

The video is a little bit longer but there was plenty to explain. I hope this helps you understand how to first set up the problem better then how to find the numerical answers.
