Irwin is pulling his sister on a sled. The direction of his resultant is 31 degrees and the horizontal component of the resultant is 86 newtons. Find the vertical component and the magnotude of the force.

a - base

b - exponent

so,

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
