If you have a vector of magnitude r, making an angle of a degrees, then its projection on the x-axis is r*cos(a) and on the y-axis it is r*sin(a).

When you resolve a vector and what do you get?
You get other vectors, usually perpendicular to each other, that - when added together - result in the original vector. These component vectors are usually along the axes of some selected coordinate system.
Can you add three unit vectors to get a unit vector does your answer change if two unit vectors are along the coordinate axes?
Yes., and their being along the coordinate axes does not change the answer.Consider the vectors: i, -i and j where i is the unit vector along the x axis and j along the y axis. The resultant of the three is j.
How do you name the direction of a vector?
The direction of a vector is defined in terms of its components along a set of orthogonal vectors (the coordinate axes).
The Cartesian coordinate system can be used to describe threedimensional space Instead of two axes the coordinate system has three What are their labels?
Hey, With 2 axes its x and y with 3 its x,y and z Toby
What consists the rectangular coordinate system?
Two axes crossing at right angles, and a unit of measurement for each of the two axes.

What are the projections of a vector along the axes of a coordinate system?
A tangent of the vector is the projection of a vector along the axes of a coordinate system.
What is two perpendicular number lines in a coordinate system?
They are the coordinate axes.
Parts of coordinate system?
Origin and axes.
How do you name the direction of a vector?
The direction of a vector is defined in terms of its components along a set of orthogonal vectors (the coordinate axes).
Which is the point in a coordinate system where both axes intersect?
It is at the point of origin whose coordinate is (0, 0)
What are the number lines that form the Cartesian coordinate system are called?
The axes.

Two axes crossing at right angles, and a unit of measurement for each of the two axes.
When the Cartesian coordinate system is used to describe three-dimensional space one needs three axes. These axes are typically called the and axes.?
x, y and z axes.
What are the axes on the Cartesian Coordinate System?
There are two of them which are the y-axis and the x-axis.
