Question 1198181
<font color=black size=3>
Draw a right triangle with vertical leg 30 and horizontal leg 40.


We'll use a = 30 and b = 40 to find the following
{{{a^2+b^2 = c^2}}} Pythagorean theorem


{{{c = sqrt(a^2+b^2)}}}


{{{c = sqrt(30^2+40^2)}}}


{{{c = sqrt(900+1600)}}}


{{{c = sqrt(2500)}}}


{{{c = 50}}}
The hypotenuse is 50 units long.


This is a 30-40-50 right triangle based on the 3-4-5 right triangle (scale each side by a factor of 10).


The result vector is therefore 50 pounds upward and to the left.
