Vector Composition & Decomposition
3. Vectors / Vector Composition & Decomposition / Problem 3
You are provided with two vectors D and E. Vector D lies in the first quadrant, with a length of 4.20 cm and 40.0 degrees above the x-axis. Vector E lies in the fourth quadrant, with a length of 2.40 cm and 40.0 degrees below the x-axis. Find the magnitude and direction of D - E using components.
![Vector D (4.20 cm) in the first quadrant and vector E (2.40 cm) in the fourth quadrant, both at 40° angles.](https://lightcat-files.s3.amazonaws.com/problem_images/e3db6afd5258018e-1674069416985.jpg)
