Homework Statement
A jetliner is moving at a speed of 233 m/s. The vertical component of the plane's velocity is 66.9 m/s. Determine the magnitude of the horizontal component of the plane's velocity.
The Attempt at a Solution
233m/s^2=66m/s^2+x^2=233.189135m/s
66m/s cos(90)=0
I am not really sure how to find velocity from speed without knowing the angle... It's not given that it is 90... I know this is supposed to be easy but I am a beginner.
Thanks for help
