Image with description On a coordinate plane, a vector labeled 450 miles per hour goes up and to the right in quadrant 1 and forms angle alpha = 35 degrees with the y-axis. A vector labeled 600 miles per hour goes down and to the left in quadrant 3 and forms angle beta = 20 degrees with the y-axis. Vector x goes from terminal point 600 miles per hour to terminal point 450 miles per hour.
