Alex drives his four wheeler from his house 12.5 km at -145 degrees. Determine how far alex drove his four wheeler west and south from his house
---------
Note:: -145 degrees = -145+360 = 215 degrees
------------
west distance:: 12.5*cos(215) = -10.239
south distance:: 12.5sin(215) = -10.239
Ans: west 10.239 km ; south 10.239 km
