I seriously need someone to help me! Describe the vector as an ordered pair. Round the coordinates to the nearest tenth <–58.1, 50.5> <–102, 117.4> <–117.4, 102> <–50.5, 58.1>

Hint: x = r*cos(theta) y = r*sin(theta)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is r

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's the length of the vector

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so 77?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the angle theta is how much you've rotated the vector (starting at the positive x axis)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and going counterclockwise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so how much is this rotation

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

theres the xy axis |dw:1356135100225:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

add on the vector |dw:1356135118733:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is this angle of rotation |dw:1356135144073:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

139 degrees?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1356135230368:dw|
