8-7 Vectors
SOLUTION:
a) The vector formed by the starting point at the school and the terminal point at the end of the parade is .
Use the distance formula to find the magnitude of the vector.

Use trigonometry to find the direction of the vector.

The parade started at the origin and terminated below the positive x-axis in quadrant IV. The direction of the vector
o o o
is the angle that it makes clockwise from the positive x-axis, which is 360 – 11.3 or 348.7 .

o
Therefore, the magnitude of the vector is about 5.1 units and the direction is at an angle of about 348.7 .

b) Use the distance formula to find the length of each leg of the parade.

First, find the length of the leg between (5, 2) and (0, 0).

Next, find the length of the leg between (5, –1) and (5, 2).

So, the total distance of the parade is about 5.4 + 3 or 8.4 units.

Use the conversion rate of 1 unit = 0.25 mile to determine the length of the parade in miles.


So, the total distance of the parade is about 5.4 + 3 or 8.4 units.
