Find the magnitude and direction angle of the resultant vector. 7) First vector: (8,240°)
Second vector: (10, 80°)

9514 1404 393

  3.694∠127.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable calculator makes short work of this.

  (8; 240°) +(10; 80°) ≈ (3.694; 127.8°)

_____

If you like, you can add the components of the vectors and figure the magnitude and direction of the result.

  a = 8(cos(240°), sin(240°)) ≈ (-4.0000, -6.9282)

  b = 10(cos(80°), sin(80°)) ≈ (-1.7365, 9.8481)

  r = a + b ≈ (-2.2635, 2.9199)

  |r| = √(2.2635² +2.9199²) ≈ 3.69448

  ∠r = arctan(2.9199/-2.2635) ≈ 127.783°

The resultant is approximately 3.694∠127.78°.
