Study the vector diagram.

Two vectors, X and Y, form a right angle. Vector X is 48 inches long and vector Y is 14 inches long. The length of the resultant vector is inches.
Study the vector diagram.

The diagram shows components that have been added together to form Rx and Ry. Rx and Ry are the components of the resultant vector.
