Answer:
\theta =64.29^(\circ)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Vector Points -1.55 units along x-axis

i.e. 1.55 units along negative x-axis

and 3.22 units along Y-axis

Direction of vector


\tan \theta =(3.22)/(1.55)


\theta =tan ^(-1)(2.077)


\theta =64.29^(\circ)

Where
\theta is the angle made by vector with x-axis as shown in the diagram

A vector points -1.55 units along the x-axis, and 3.22 units along the y-axis. Find-example-1
