What is the magnitude and direction of Vector GH if G(2, -2) and H(7, 6)? magnitude: 9.43 units; direction 32.01° magnitude: 6.4 units; direction: 57.99° magnitude: 9.43 units: direction: 57.99° magnitude: 6.4 units: direction: 32.01°
first off, lets position this at the origin by subtracting one point from the other
H(7, 6) -G(2, -2) --------- (5, 10) this is the position representation of the vector from G to H
since 5,10 is greater than 10,10 (45 degrees) its safe to say that the direction part is 55 or so |dw:1343070321262:dw|
Okay
the magnitude is just the length of the vector using the distance formula
square add sqrt .... (5, 10) (5, 10)^2 = 25,100 25+100 = 125 sqrt(125) HMMM
caps got stuck :/
Thats okay , no problem!(:
it appears that the magnitude doesnt fit any of the option .... sqrt(125) is about 11 or so
pfft, 6+2 = 8 .. not 10 :) forgot how to add
Lol!!
so id still go with the larger 9 spot and about 55 for the win
Okay! Thanks(:
youre welcome, and with any luck, some of that made sense ;)
Yes it did ! Thank you(:
