Answer:

Horizontal component = 60.05 m/s

vertical component = 22.96 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

cosine(angle) = adjacent / hypotenuse or horizontal / angled velocity

angled velocity * cosine (angle) = horizontal velocity

65 m/s * cosine(22.5) = 60.05 m/s

sine(angle) = adjacent/ hypotenuse or vertical/ angled velocity

angled velocity * sine (angle) = vertical velocity

65m/s sine(22.5) = 22.96 m/s
