10-39.
Find r in component form if
and Draw each vector in a circle. Then make a right triangle with the
-axis. Circle, radius in first quadrant, labeled 5, is hypotenuse in right triangle where horizontal leg is part of x axis, central angle of triangle labeled 1 sixth pi = 30 degrees.
Solve the rest of the triangle.
Note: Each part forms a special right triangle.Labels added, horizontal leg, 5 halves times square root of 3, vertical leg, 5 halves.
