A vector has an x-component of - 7.55m and a y-component of - 2.48. Find the magnitude of the vector

7.95 meters

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector can be found with Pythagorean's theorem:

v² = vx² + vy²

v² = (-7.55) ² + (-2.48) ²

v² = 57.0 + 6.15

v² = 63.15

v = 7.95

The magnitude of the vector is 7.95 meters.
