Can I have help with this? I have no idea how to solve it :/ What is the magnitude and direction of Vector GH if G(1, -6) and H(8, 3)? a.)magnitude: 11.4 units: direction: 37.87° b.)magnitude: 11.4 units; direction: 52.13° c.) magnitude: 7.62 units; direction 37.87° d.)magnitude: 7.62 units: direction: 52.13

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a vector from G to H is the same as H-G

OpenStudy (amistre64):

H (8, 3) - G(1, -6) --------- GH (7,9)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

magnitude is the pythag thrm, or distance formula; square, add, sqrt

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and if we were to compare this to a 45 degree angle; or a line from the origin to 9,9|dw:1343763316326:dw|

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1343763345813:dw| we see that it is greater than 45
