(5) Suppose \(\vec{u}\) and \(\vec{v}\) are vectors in the xy-plane, each with initial point at the origin. The length of \(\vec{u}\) is 4, the length of \(\vec{v}\) is 6, and the angle from \(\vec{u}\) to \(\vec{v}\) is \(5\pi/6\) in the counterclockwise direction. (a) What is the magnitude and direction of \(\vec{u} \times \vec{v}\)?

Two vectors $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{r}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{s}}$ lie in the $x y$ plane. Their magnitudes are $r=4.5$ units and $s=7.3$ units. Their directions are, respectively, $320^{\circ}$ and $85^{\circ}$ measured counterclockwise from the positive $x$ axis. Find the magnitude and the direction of $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{r}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathbf{s}}$
