In our problem the magnitude of vector a is given to be sixty six point two and its direction theta a is given to be twenty nine point three degrees with respect to the positive x axis and the magnitude of vector b is given to be forty one point four and its direction theta b is given to be fifty six point two degrees with respect to the negative x axis and the magnitude of vector c is given to be forty eight point nine and it is along the negative y axis using these values we can find both x x and y components of the three vectors.

Ax, the x component of a vector, can be written as a, cos, theta a.
01:06
Substituting the values, we get 66 .2, multiplied by cos, 29 .3 degrees.
01:14
On calculating, we get 57 .730, and its y component, a .y can be written as a, sine theta a, which is equal to 66 .2 times sine 29 .3 degrees.
01:33
On calculating, we get 32 .397.
01:39
And the x component of b vector can be written as minus b, cos theta b.
01:47
Here, the negative sign is due to the fact that theta is measured from the negative x axis.
01:57
Now on substituting the values we get minus of 41 .4 multiplied by cost 56 .2 degrees.
02:07
On calculating we get minus 23 .030 and the y component of b vector can be written as b sine theta b.
02:21
Substituting the values we get 41 .4 multiplied by sine 56 .2 degrees.
02:31
On calculating, we get 34 .402.
02:36
Since c vector lies in the negative y axis, c vector only has y component which is equal to minus 48 .9 and the x component is 0.
02:55
A vector minus b vector plus c vector can be written as ax minus bx plus cx x cap plus ay minus by plus cy cap...
