Drawing the right triangle with all values of velocity


After deploying her parachute, a skydiver falls through the air with a constant speed of 8.00 m/s . As she falls, there is a constant breeze blowing west at 2.50 m/s.

At what angle from the downward vertical does the parachutist move?

Hint: We're asked to find a non-standard angle here and to record it as a positive number. Drawing the right triangle with all values of velocity being positive will help you find the non-standard angle.
