Answer:

A) 2.09

B) -62.09°

Explanation:

If D = A+B+C  then C = D - A - B

Converting both A and B to rectangular coordinates, we get:

A = [-4.07 , 4.68]    and    B = [6.19 , 3.87]

Replacing these values we can get the x and y components of C:

C = [0.98 , -1.85]

Its module is:

[tex]|C| = \sqrt{0.98^2+(-1.85)^2}=2.09[/tex]

Its angle is:

[tex]\alpha _c = atan(-1.85/0.98) = -62.09\°[/tex]

A) The magnitude of the vector is 2.09

B) The angle should be  -62.09°

Calculation of vector magnitude & angle:

In the case when D = A+B+C  then C = D - A - B

Now

Converting both A and B to rectangular coordinates, we provided:

A = [-4.07 , 4.68]    and    B = [6.19 , 3.87]

Now replace these values we can get the x and y components of C:

C = [0.98 , -1.85]

Its module is:

[tex]= \sqrt{0.98^2+ (-1.85)^2}[/tex]

= 2.09

b. Now the angle should be

[tex]= tan(-1.85\div 0.98)[/tex]

=   -62.09°
