OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

describe what it is doing. This question could have multiple correct answers.

OpenStudy (jazilove):

i dont know, that's the problem

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

imagine the the vector is a car. What directiion are you heading in terms of East, West, North, and South?

OpenStudy (jazilove):

it is going southwest

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

yes, but it's also going west, more west than south

OpenStudy (jazilove):

so it is going west of south?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

yes, depending on what angle you are looking at we would use west of south if we were using this angle |dw:1456436752339:dw|

OpenStudy (jazilove):

So i could say "The vector is going 41 degrees west of south" ??

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

yes

OpenStudy (jazilove):

ok, thank you(:
