Homework Statement
Resolve the position vector A of the car (measured from fixed point O)
into components parallel to OB and OC.

Homework Equations
Projection of vector A to OC = |A| * |unit vector OC| * unit vector
The Attempt at a Solution
my solution for finding the component parallel to OC is by finding the angle of triangle AOC, then use that angle to compute for parallel component at OC. my answer ended up to be the same 3500m. but the book says, 2570m along OC.
