Approximate the horizontal and vertical components of the vector that is described. A child pulls a sled through the snow by exerting a force of 20 pounds at an angle of 40° with the horizontal.

Rule of finding the components of a vector a with magnitude r that makes an angle with positive x-axis:

Consider the vector that has radius r makes an angle O with positive x-axis. Then the component wise representation of the vector is

a=(x,y)

where,

x=rcos∅

y=rsin∅

y=mx+b

step-by-step explanation:

m slope

b y-intercept
