Question: Given: vectors Z ? ? ( 1 ) , Z ? ? ( 2 ) by way of their Cartesian coordinates x 1 , Y

Given: vectors Z??(1),Z??(2) by way of their Cartesian coordinates x1,Y1 and x2,Y2, determine the resultant Z??(R)=Z??(1)+Z??(2), by declaring its Cartesian coordinates xR,YR, and its magnitude ZR and direction R. Also report the positive magnitudes Z1,Z2 and associated directions Z1,Z2 for Z??(1),Z??(2). Use the dot product to report the c12=cos(12)=cos(21) and the result of cos-1(c12). Choose the graph as usual. Finally, be sure to keep angles between -180 and +180.
First Example. Given x1=2.12132lbf,Y1=2.12132lbf,x2=0.00000lbf, and Y2=3.00000lbf, declare the unknown values.
