Answer:

Correct answer: ∝ = 18.43°

Explanation:

Given coordinates represent one vector in x-y plane, let be v.

v = 3i +1j = xi + yj => x = 3 and y = 1

The angle that this vector builds with the positive direction to the x axis will be found using the tangent.

∝ = tan⁻¹ y/x = tan⁻¹ 1/3 = tan⁻¹ 0.333 = 18.43°

∝ = 18.43°

God is with you!!!
