Did I solve this correctly?
Find the x- and y-component (round to the nearest 10th) of a vector with magnitude 15 m and direction 105°.

Sin 105 = X/15 → X = 15 * Sin 105 = 14.5
Cos 105 = y/15 → Y= 15 * Cos 105 = -3.9

wouldn't x be a negative number because it is in the 2nd quadrant instead of y?

summersnow8 · Answer

then how come that is not what I got then....?

radar · Answer

Don't you have your X and Y mixed up......isn't the Y = 15 Sin theta

summersnow8 · Answer

no X is Cos

radar · Answer

Yes x is Cos and Y is Sin

summersnow8 · Answer

my bad, I got mixed up, so it's -3.9, 14.5
