### Explanation
**Description:**
This problem involves breaking down a vector into its components. The vector \(\vec{r}\) has a magnitude of 11 meters and is directed 55 degrees above the positive x-axis. The task is to find the x and y components of this vector and provide the answers with the appropriate units.
**Mathematical Approach:**
- To find the x-component (\(r_x\)):
- Use the cosine function: \( r_x = r \cos(\theta) \)
- To find the y-component (\(r_y\)):
- Use the sine function: \( r_y = r \sin(\theta) \)
Here, \( r = 11 \) meters and \(\theta = 55^\circ\). Perform the calculations to find the values in meters.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1a5bf8ad-4965-4e63-b21c-5c2ad3e92a8d%2F6d762ffb-29d4-42fd-9dd9-23623806baa5%2F2hw3bse_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
