Question 269276: Use trigonometry to find the magnitude and the counterclockwise angle it makes with the x axis.
Ax = 9, Ay = 6
I figured out the magnitude was 10.8. However, I don't know how to figure out the angle!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use trigonometry to find the magnitude and the counterclockwise angle it makes with the x axis.
Ax = 9, Ay = 6
I figured out the magnitude was 10.8. However, I don't know how to figure out the angle!
-------------------------
It sounds like you have an angle in standard position
with its terminal side terminating at (9,6).
---
If that is true the magnitude is sqrt(9^2+6^2) = 9.49
---
The angle is arctan(6/9) = 33.69 degrees
==============================================
If I am misinterpreting Ax=9, Ay=6, all the above may be wrong.
