Explanation A vector should have magnitude and direction. Let A be a vectors of magnitude A . The x component of the vector A is the vector directed along the x axes. The magnitude of the x component of the vector A is denoted as A x . The magnitude of the x component of the vector A x is related to A by A x = A cos θ
