Corey Hodge · Answer 1

For simplicity, let's call vector B-A vector C Then C is

Cx = (-6.1 - 2.2)

Cy = (-2.2 - (-6.9)) Or,

Cx = - 8.3 Cy = 4.7

The magnitude is found with the Pythagorean theorem

||C|| = √ (-8.3² + 4.7²) = 9.538

The components of vector A are Ax = + 2.2 and Ay = - 6.9, and the components of vector B are given are Bx =-6.1 and By = - 2.2. What is the magnitude of the vector B - A
