.
a vector of 13.2 units acts upward, and a vector of 45 units acts east.
what is their resultant? indicate the direction with respect to east.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The magnitude of the resulting vector is sqrt%2813.2%5E2%2B45%5E2%29 = 46.8961 units (rounded).

The angle with the "east" direction is arctan%2813.2%2F45%29 = arctan%280.29333%29 = 16.348 degrees.


Solved.
