$v = 1, 6 \frac{u n i t}{s}$ $v=1,6 " "(unit)/s$
$∠ = 308, 66^{o}$ $angle=308,66 ^o$
$you can find from the triangle of ABC (tan A)$ $"you can find from the triangle of ABC" ( tan A)"$

$the green vector shows displacement for the object B from$ $"the green vector shows displacement for the object B from"$
$the perspective of A$ $"the perspective of A"$

$A B = \sqrt{{(- 1 + 5)}^{2} + {(- 8 + 3)}^{2}}$ $AB=sqrt((-1+5)^2+(-8+3)^2$

$A B = \sqrt{4^{2} + {(- 5)}^{2}}$ $AB=sqrt(4^2+(-5)^2)$

$A B = \sqrt{16 + 25}$ $AB=sqrt(16+25)$
$A B = \sqrt{41}$ $AB=sqrt41$

$A B = 6, 40 unit$ $AB=6,40 " unit"$

$v = \frac{6, 40}{4}$ $v=(6,40)/4$

$v = 1, 6 \frac{u n i t}{s}$ $v=1,6 " "(unit)/s$

$∠ = 308, 66^{o}$ $angle=308,66 ^o$
$you can find from the triangle of ABC (tan A)$ $"you can find from the triangle of ABC" ( tan A)"$
