Vector angle in a standard x-y coordinate system?

[robvba]

A certain vector has x and y components that are equal in magnitude. Which of the following is a possible angle for this vector in a standard x-y coordinate system?

30°
180°
90°
60°
45°

Is this problem too simple or am i missing something? if the x and y components are equal in magnitude, than their vector will be the hypotenus...in this case being any of the above?

Thank you

No, not any of the above. For most angles listed, the x and y components are unequal in magnitude.

It's asking about the angle.

 

[robvba]

so if one lies on the x plane and the other on the y plane the angle could be 45?

so if one lies on the x plane and the other on the y plane the angle could be 45?

If they are equal, then either of the minor angles will be equal, which means ...

 

[robvba]

cos()=sin()...()=45

 

[Redbelly98]

Yes, 45°.

By the way, what is this "x plane" and "y plane"? Everything is in the xy plane.

Originaly i pictured two vectors of equal magnitued at different points on the xy plane.
thank you all
