Question 1102243: Determine the direction angle for the following vector:
v = -8i+8 sqrt(3) j

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Determine the direction angle for the following vector:
v = -8i+8 sqrt(3) j
------
Note that v is in QII where the tan is negative::
theta = arctran[(8sqrt(3)/-8] = arctran[-sqrt(3)] = 180-60 = 120 degrees
or (2/3)pi radians
