The magnitude (distance) of the vector is approximately
\(51 \, \text{m}\).

To find the magnitude (distance) of the vector given its components in the x and y directions
(\(A_x\) and
\(A_y\)), you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The magnitude
(\(A\)) is given by:


\[ A = √(A_x^2 + A_y^2) \]

Given your values:


\[ A_x = 44.4 \, \text{m} \]


\[ A_y = 25.1 \, \text{m} \]

Substitute these values into the formula:


\[ A = \sqrt{(44.4 \, \text{m})^2 + (25.1 \, \text{m})^2} \]


\[ A = √(1971.36 + 630.01) \]


\[ A = √(2601.37) \]


\[ A \approx 51 \, \text{m} \]

Therefore, the magnitude (distance) of the vector is approximately
\(51 \, \text{m}\).
