Help!!!!!

Using compass directions, what is the direction of the vector? The diagram is not drawn to scale.

a) 45 degrees east of north
b) 45 degrees west of north
c) 45 degrees west of south
d) 45 degrees east of south

Answer 1

c) 45 degrees west of south

Answer 2

Correct option is C.

Explanation:

Given the vector drawn in diagram. we have to find the direction of given vector.

A vector quantity has both direction and magnitude (size). A vector is represented by a line segment labelled with an arrow as shown in given figure.

As the vector lies between the direction of west and south. Also make angle 45° with the south direction.

As from all of the given options only one option contains both south and west which is 45 degrees west of south. Therefore, gives the direction of given vector.

Hence, correct option is C.
