UT HW3 #6

For number 5, I got the horizontal component of the displacement correct. But for some reason I can't get the vertical component of the displacement. I did sin(18.3◦) x 38.4m and I got 12.0573m, and it said it was wrong. Whenever I redo the problem, I keep getting the same answer. Am I doing something wrong?

Hint 1, displacement is a vector.
Hint 2, I've always wanted to sled uphill but whenever I try, i just seem to fall downhill again
