Answer

$6.96^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We have the average velocity as; $\bar{v_{avg}}=[(2.771)\hat{i}+(6.1428)\hat{j}+(0.8228\ km)\hat{k}] km/h$ The angle made by the average velocity with the horizontal is thus: $\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{0.8228}{\sqrt (6.1428^2+2.771^2)})$ $\theta=6.96^{\circ}$
