Answer:

Intensity of the vector is v= √37 ≈ 6.08 units and make angle ∡α ≈ 9.46° with east direction

Step-by-step explanation:

Required vector is consists of the two components

vx= 2+4=6 units  and vy= 1 unit and vx ⊥ vy

We will use Pythagorian theorem to find intensity of the vector v

v∧2 = vx∧2 + vy∧2 => v = √vx∧2 + vy∧2 = √6∧2 + 1∧2 = √36+1 = √37 ≈ 6.08 units

The angle ∡α between vector and east direction we wil find with tanα

tanα = 1/6 => α = arc tanα = arc 1/6 => α ≈ 9.46°

Good luck!!!

HELP PLSSSS I DONT UNDERSTAND WALLAH
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between (4, 3) and (8, 9):

d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

d = \sqrt{(8 - 4)^2 + (9 - 3)^2}

d = \sqrt{(4)^2 + (6)^2}

d = \sqrt{16 + 36}

d = \sqrt{52} = 7.2 (nearest tenth)
