OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the first one is it closer to north or west?

OpenStudy (danjs):

forget the angle number for now, what is the general direction of the value? the north of east , south of west, things?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the second one you can create a triangle of |dw:1454813569307:dw|

OpenStudy (alexandrea.lane):

Is the first one the fourth answer??

OpenStudy (danjs):

north of west

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where d is the angle across from x and x and y are the x and y coordinates You can use law of sines by doing \[\frac{ \sin 33 }{ y }=\frac{ \sin 90 }{ 77 }\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

closest direction out of NSEW, is west, it is 19 deg north of that west

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can then use the same method to find x, Or you could use Pythagorean theorem now that you had found y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember because this is third quadrant both x and y are negative

OpenStudy (alexandrea.lane):

B?

OpenStudy (danjs):

they give a magnitude and an angle direction., change to perpendicular components there are a couple relationships to choose from, 77sin(33) and 77cos(33) are straight forward for y and x components of that

OpenStudy (alexandrea.lane):

so then it would D??

OpenStudy (danjs):

< 77cos(33) , 77sin(33) >

OpenStudy (alexandrea.lane):

B like i said

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah, looks right

OpenStudy (danjs):

just apply the sin and cosine functions to the triangle, gives ya the two sides, or components of the vector
