A hiker walks 9.4 miles at an angle of 60° south of west. Find the west and south components of the walk. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. Ax = miles Ay = miles

For this problem, we use our knowledge on trigonometric functions on a right triangle to be able to calculate for the x and y components of the walk. We do as follows:

sin 60 = ax / 9.4

ax = 8.14

cos 60 = ay / 9.4

ay = 4.7
