Homework Statement
Vector A is 4.00 units and 40* below x-axis. Vector B is 3.00 units and 25* below -x-axis. Use the graphical method (only ruler and protractor) to find Vector 2B - Vector A. I have to find the magnitude and direction.
When I did it I got 8.5 and East, but I'm not sure if I did it right. When they say 4.00 and 3.00 units, is that the ax component of the vector? That's the way I did it. I drew out the vector then measured 3 and 4 units on the ax comp. of both vectors, then measured from that point down to the vector and got the ay component. Then I just solved for the magnitude.
thanks
