We are given with the x and y components of Vector A and B. In this case, we compute the resultant of both components of each vector. The vector is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the components. A is equal to 2.60 cm. B is equal to 5.56 cm. B is found in quadrant Iv and has an angle of 42.447 degrees as a terminal angle. A has an angle of 59.98 degrees.

a. 5.6082 < - 15.53 degreesc. 6.63 <-64.98 degreesb. x = 6.63 cos - 64.98 degrees = 2.80 y = 6.63 sin - 64.98 degrees = - 6.00
