Answer:
Explanation:
The y component is measured by the horizontal component and the vertical component. Together they determine the magnitude of the vector. In this case, the y or vertical component is found by using the sine function.
Formula
Sin(angle) = vector resultant / y component component.
Givens
angle = 42 degrees.
vector = 419 degrees
Solution
sin(42) = y / 419 Multiply both sides by 419
419 * sin(42) = 419 * y / 419
y = 419 * 0.6691
y = 280.37
Note
The vector is pointing downward so technically the vertical component should be negative. I'm not sure what to tell you to answer. I would try - 280.37, but if the computer marks you wrong, try 280.37 (no minus sign).
