    Finding the magnitude of a vector B given vector C

    Hello, Apologies.. I am reading the question incorrectly therefore assuming that the magnitude of vector B is equal to that of vector C when this is not the case. I will give this another go - thank you for suggesting to draw this and helping.

    Finding the magnitude of a vector B given vector C

    Hi, Thanks for replying. No, I had not created an illustration of the situation at the time since I did not believe it would be necessary for this question. I created one just now but I still do not see how it will help yield the magnitude of vector C. Here is the drawing...

    Finding the magnitude of a vector B given vector C

    Homework Statement If vector B is added to vector C = 3.7i + 2.4j, the result is a vector in the positive direction of the y axis, with a magnitude equal to that of vector C. What is the magnitude of vector B? Homework Equations sqroot(a^2x+a^2y) = a The Attempt at a Solution My line of...
