Ohhhh! Okay! That helps a lot; I've never heard this sort of problem explained like that, but it made it much easier to see the problem visually. Thanks bunches!
Yes, I'm sure it does matter, but this is why I'm confused. We've never dealt with angles larger than ninety degrees in class and yet, we are expected to know how to do this. I started by subtracting the 260 from 360 and I got 100 degrees. So, I used that angle and divided the resulting...
Find the x and y components for the given vectors below.
Magnitude: 318, Angle: 260 degrees
Magnitude: 140, Angle 180 degrees

I tried using trigonometric equations to figure them out, but it isn't working so far. What am I doing wrong? For instance, I used...
