  1. Construct a vector with magnitude |a| = 28 and angle = 45o.

a. Determine the X- And Y- components (that is, find ax and ay).

ax and ay= 19.79899

b. Check your answer using the equations in #14.

19. 79899 = 28 cos 45

My question: Why doesn't 28 cos 45 equal to 19.79899?

Although I have used equation, ax = |a| cos , it does not equal to the answer. Why is that?
