Why will the horizontal and vertical components of a vector be equal in magnitude if the angle is 45 degrees?

Get some graph paper, draw two axes and bisect them with a 45 degree sloping line.
Next pick any point on that 45 degree sloping line and from that point draw a line parallel to the horizontal axis so that it intersects the vertical axis.
Do the same thing from the point drawing a line parallel with the vertical axis so that it intersects the horizontal axis.
These two lines represent represent the components of your vector and if you measure them they will be of equal length and thus of equal magnitude.
For ANY angle of slope (other than 45 degrees) the two vectors will not be of equal length.

What is the difference between vertical and horizontal lines?
vertical lines run from top to bottom, horizontal lines run from left to right the difference between the two is 90 degrees if you place vertical lines next to horizontal lines.
What is the resultant of a 30 unit and 60 unit vector inclined to each other at 60 degrees?
Suppose the 30 unit vector is acting horizontally. Then the 60 unit vector has a horizontal component of 60*cos(60) units and a vertical component of 60*sin(60) units. So total horizontal = 30 + 60*cos(60) = 60 units total vertical = 60*sin(60)= 51.96 units. Then magnitude of resultant = sqrt(602 + 51.962) = sqrt(6300) = 79.37 units (approx). And direction = tan-1(51.96/60) = 40.89 degrees (from the 30 unit vector).
What is the vertical angle of 43?
An angle of 43 degrees cannot be a vertical angle. A vertical angle, by definition, is 90 degrees
How many sets of perpendicular lines are in a right triangle?
There is only one set of perpendicular lines in a right triangle; the horizontal line and the vertical line that make it 90 degrees.
What angle has same horizontal displacement as 25 degrees?
65
Will a vector at 45 degrees to he horizontal be larger or smaller than its horizontal and vertical components?
A vector at 45 degrees to the horizontal will always be larger than its two components because the two smaller components always combine together in order to equal the Vector.
If a force of 14 pounds is directed at an angle measuring 38 degrees from the horizontal of a right angle what will the horizontal and vertical components be?
Horizontal component = 14 cos(38) = 11.032 lbs (rounded)Vertical component = 14 sin(38) = 8.619 lbs (rounded)
Where A Particle Is Projected Along A Linear Plane. The Horizontal Component Of The Velocity Is Twice The Vertical Component What Is The Initial Magnitude Of The Velocity And The Angle At Which It Is?
The initial velocity is sqrt(5) times the vertical component, and its angle relative to the horizontal direction, is 0.46 radians (26.6 degrees).
What is the beam width of prv 11 radar in horizontal and vertical plane?
Horizontal beam width = 4.0 degrees Vertical beam width = 1.6 degrees
Is earth axis tilted curved vertical vertical or horizontal?
Earth's axis is tilted to about 11 degrees from the vertical.
Is longitude horizontal?
Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.
What line is perpendicular to a horizontal line?
A vertical line at 90 degrees
What makes a pair if angles vertical angles?
the vertical angles are the same angles as well as horizontal angles but vertical and horizontal are most the time different except when they all are 90 degrees.
What do vertical angles add up to?
A vertical angle is perpendicular to a horizontal base and equals 90 degrees
What is the difference between vertical and horizontal lines?
vertical lines run from top to bottom, horizontal lines run from left to right the difference between the two is 90 degrees if you place vertical lines next to horizontal lines.
Exactly vertical or perpendicular?
There is no such thing as exactly vertical because either it is vertical or it is not. You cannot have approximately vertical - it is not vertical, then. Vertical means at 90 degrees to the horizon (or horizontal).
What are not horizontal and vertical lines?
Any line that is not running exactly straight up and down is not vertical. Any line that is not running exactly flat, left to right is not horizontal. Vertical and horizontal lines are always at 90 degrees to each other.
