The magnitude of \( \mathbf{A} = 3\mathbf{a}_x + 4\mathbf{a}_y \) is

  • A.7
  • B.12
  • C.25
  • D.5

Answer: D

The magnitude is the square root of the sum of the squares of the components, that is \( \sqrt{9 + 16} = 5 \). Dividing the vector by five gives the unit vector \( 0.6\mathbf{a}_x + 0.8\mathbf{a}_y \), whose components are the direction cosines.
