Choose an appropriate scale and use it to draw an arrow presenting the given vector.
Example Answer:
Practice makes perfect
We are asked to draw the vector k that represents 95 kilometers per hour at an angle of 65^(∘) east of north. First, we will choose the scale. For example, we will use 1 cm:19 kilometers per hour. Using this scale, we can evaluate the length of our vector.
95/19=5
In our diagram k will have a length of 5 centimeters. Since we are given that our vector is 65^(∘) east of north, we will draw a segment that satisfies this condition. To do this, we will put a protractor at the center point along the north-south line and find the appropriate angle on the east side.
Next we will use a ruler to find the point that lies on the red segment and is 5 centimeters from the center point.
Finally, we will connect the points with a ray. This ray will represent the vector k.
