Step-by-step solution
4 stepsFind the vector .
Given points and .
The vector is found by subtracting the coordinates of from the coordinates of .Calculate the magnitude of (part i).
The magnitude of a vector is given by the formula .
Here, and .The magnitude is .
Calculate the bearing (part ii).
The vector is in the first quadrant.
Let be the angle the vector makes with the positive x-axis (East).Bearing is measured clockwise from the North direction (positive y-axis).
Since the vector is in the first quadrant, the bearing is .Rounding to one decimal place, .
As a 3-digit bearing, this is .Express in the form .
From Step 2, .
From Step 3, .i) The magnitude of is .
ii) Express in the form : .
