Question

The figure shows three vectors. Vector A→ has a length of 32.0, vector B→ has a length of 64.0, and vector C→ has a length of 22.0.

Find each magnitude and direction.

The image presents a diagram of three vectors, labeled \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), and \(\vec{C}\). These vectors emanate from a common origin. 

- Vector \(\vec{A}\) is oriented upwards and to the left.
- Vector \(\vec{B}\) points to the right.
- Vector \(\vec{C}\) is directed downwards and to the left.

The angles between these vectors are marked:
- The angle between \(\vec{A}\) and a horizontal line is \(70^\circ\).
- The angle between vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(20^\circ\).
- The angle between \(\vec{C}\) and the same horizontal line is \(70^\circ\).

This diagram can be useful for understanding vector addition or the decomposition of vectors in physics or engineering.
