The vector's various coordinates are presented here. We know that in coordinates, the x component of a vector comes first, followed by the y component. To calculate the angle of the vector with respect to the x-axis, just multiply the y component by the x component and then take the inverse of that result.

This will tell you the vector's angle with the x-axis.

It can be represented as

$胃={{\tan }^{-}}^1\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)$鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌�(1)

Use a ruler to determine the magnitude of the displacement vector along with the following formula.

$\frac{4}{x}=\frac{y}{z}$

For x, measure the length of the $4.0km$-vector and plug it in. Measure the length of the displacement vector for z and plug it in. Then, given y, the magnitude, solve the equation. Determine the angle above the horizontal with a protractor.

Measurement of final displacement

Hence the displacement is $7.8km$and the direction is $38掳$with respect to the x-axis
