The discussion revolves around calculating the resultant vector from two given vectors, A and B, with specified magnitudes and an angle. The participants are exploring how to resolve vector B into its components, particularly in relation to the angle provided.
The discussion is ongoing, with various participants offering insights into the trigonometric relationships involved in resolving the vectors. There is recognition of the need for clarity regarding the differences in handling vectors A and B, particularly in terms of their components.
Some participants mention a lack of confidence in trigonometry, which may be affecting their ability to resolve the vectors correctly. The original poster indicates confusion about the necessity of calculating Bx and By when an angle is involved.

I wanted the OP to say what was different about B that led to a problem. (Supposedly vector A did not present a problem, but B did.)lychette said:
i wanted to tell you you said we will not need by and bx but when angle is given of 2 vector we will need bx and by by that only i will be able to calculate components of x and y vector and add them and find resultantPao44445 said:Homework Statement
find the scale of R and angle
Homework Equations
Vector A = 100
Vector B = 200
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that I need to find the answer of this equation "R = A+B" but I can't find Bx and By because of the angle
