Find the magnitude and direction of the vector. Round the length to the nearest tenth and the degree to the nearest unit. Diagram is not drawn to scale. https://www.connexus.com/content/media/456845-2232011-25155-PM-1704478853.png

ok ill draw it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1393254943611:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe the magnitude is 7.2 but i dont know the degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... so i think you are right about the magnitude... and the degrees? are they the degrees of the angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dukeoflacrosseteame ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im assuming so, theres no specifications. i think it is between line 6 and line 4 @MelissaHolmes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just dont know how to figure out those degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so... i found this... maybe it will help? http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/4f611c20e4b079c5c630c4c9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.2 ft in the direction N56ºE apparently

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only thing i dont get is how to come up with 56

OpenStudy (anonymous):

56 is the degree of the angle |dw:1393255724705:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was this helpful?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is, im just wondering how the number 56 came up, there are no numbers there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the lines cross perpendicularly, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means that the 4 whole angles are 90 degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for that one angle... |dw:1393255866473:dw| so... since the whole angle is 90 degrees, and that particular angle is a little more than half, it is 56.
