How Do You Calculate the Magnitude of Vector C in Vector Subtraction?
I think I was making it to complicated. The angle between vector A and vector B is 90°, so if I just the pythagorean theorem I would get magnitude of vector C = sqrt(5² + 2²) = sqrt29 which is 5.385- T54

How Do You Calculate the Magnitude of Vector C in Vector Subtraction?
sqrt(2.868+4.096)2-(-1.677+1.089)2) sqrt(48.497-.346) = 6.989 This time I got a little higher than my previous answer.- T54
