A vector points 12.0 units along the x-axis, and 9.00 units along the y-axis. Find the direction of the vector

Explanation:

Im unsure how to answer this fully. But a vector is something that has magnitude and direction. We are given both of those things. If an x vector value is positive, that means it is going in the right direction. If a y vector value is positive, it is going up.

This where im confused on what the question is asking. You could apply the pythagorean theorem to get the magnitude of the hypotenuse. The magnitude would be positive. Im unsure how to describe the direction, but the magnitude is positive

The resultant points somewhere between the positive x and y axes.

The angle it makes with the x-axis has a tangent of (9/12) = 0.75 .

That angle is 36.9°, rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree.

So the resultant vector points up and to the right, 36.9° above the x-axis.

i believe the answer is a
