11-34.
Use the vectors drawn at right to complete the parts below.
Rewrite each vector in both component and
form. Determine each vector’s standard angle.
Solve
. This will solve for the angle in the slope triangle for A.
Recall that the standard angle is measured from the positive-axis. What are
and ? Determine
. The double bars mean "the magnitude of". To calculate the magnitude of vector B, use the Pythagorean Theorem.
