A vector is 4.5 units long at 0.70 radians. Express the vector as ( x, y )^T.

Answer:

vector oriented at 0.7 radians

Draw a sketch.
Calculate x by projecting the length onto the x-axis: 4.5*cos( 0.70 ) = 3.442
Calculate y by projecting the length onto the y-axis 4.5*sin( 0.70 ) = 2.899
Check answers against the sketch.
