Two vectors, x and y, form a right angle. vector x is 48 inches long and vector y is 14 inches long. the length of the resultant vector is inches. ?

If you pick up your pencil and draw a picture of these vectors, you'll see that they form a right triangle.  Its hypotenuse is the resultant vector.

       Length of the resultant  =  √ ( |X|²  +  |Y|² )

                                         =  √ (48² + 14²)

                                         =  √ (2,304 + 196)

                                         =  √ 2,500 in²

                                         =        50 inches 

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4
