Answer:

v = 24 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The x component of the vector = 12 m

The y component of the vector = 21 m

We need to find the magnitude of a vector. It can be solved as follows :


v=√(12^2+21^2) \\\\=24.18\ m

or

v = 24 m

So, the magnitude of the vector is equal to 24 m.
