to try leaping it with his car. The side the car is on is 18.3 m
above the river, whereas the opposite side is a mere 1.5 m above
the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 57.0 m wide.

In the next sets, you are given the magnitude and one component. There is an ambiguity in determining the vector, because you can only determine the absolute value of the other component and not its sign; therefore, there are two possibilities. In these tables, you must enter the absolute value of the component and provide two angles for the vector, the first one assuming the other component is positive and the other assuming the component is negative. You must also provide two angles for the antiparallel vector in the same order.
