Answer:
Option B. 8.1
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Angle θ = 71°
Hypothenus = 25
Adjacent = x
Thus, we can obtain the x component of the vector by using the cosine ratio as illustrated below:
Cos θ = Adjacent /Hypothenus
Cos 71 = x/25
Cross multiply
x = 25 × Cos 71
x = 25 × 0.3256
x = 8.1
Therefore, the x component of the vector is 8.1
