### Vector Analysis Task

#### Image Description

The image is a screenshot from an educational website (mylabmastering.pearson.com) displaying a vector illustration and a related physics question. 

#### Diagram Explanation

The figure presents a coordinate system with three vectors:

1. **Vector \(\vec{A}\):**
   - Magnitude: 44.0 units
   - Direction: 28.0° above the positive x-axis

2. **Vector \(\vec{B}\):**
   - Magnitude: 26.5 units
   - Direction: 56.0° above the negative x-axis

3. **Vector \(\vec{C}\):**
   - Magnitude: 31.0 units
   - Points directly downward along the negative y-axis

#### Problem Statement

**Part A:** 

Given the vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) shown in the figure, determine the magnitude of \(\vec{B} - \vec{A}\).

- Express your answer using three significant figures.

**Solution Provided:**

The magnitude of \(|\vec{B} - \vec{A}|\) is calculated as 22.7 units.

#### Additional Features

- There is an interface allowing for answer submission, with options to submit, view previous answers, or request further assistance.
- A calculator-style input box is available for entering answers.

### Educational Context

This exercise helps students practice vector subtraction and the calculation of magnitudes in a coordinate system, strengthening their understanding of vector operations in physics.
