Explanation:

When we redraw the triangle we get a right-angled triangle.
This is my drawing
To solve this problem we can use trigonometric function. These are $sin, cos, tan$ $sin, cos, tan$ . For this we only use $sin$ $sin$ and $cos$ $cos$ .

$sin = \frac{O}{H}$ $sin = (O)/(H)$

$cos = \frac{A}{H}$ $cos = A/H$

$O =$ $O=$ opposite
$A =$ $A=$ adjacent
$H =$ $H=$ hypotenuse

$sin 74 = \frac{V_{h}}{37}$ $sin 74 = (V_h)/37$

$V_{h} = 37 \times sin 74$ $V_h =37 xx sin74$

$= 35.57$ $= 35.57$ $m$ $m$ $s^{- 1}$ $s^-1$

Horizontal component $= 35.57$ $= 35.57$ $m$ $m$ $s^{- 1}$ $s^-1$

$cos 74 = \frac{V_{v}}{37}$ $cos 74 = (V_v)/37$

$V_{v} = 37 \times cos 74$ $V_v = 37 xx cos74$

$= 10.20$ $= 10.20$ $m$ $m$ $s^{- 1}$ $s^-1$

Vertical component $= 10.20$ $= 10.20$ $m$ $m$ $s^{- 1}$ $s^-1$

I hope this helps
