Asked by Me
Vector A has magnitude 23 units and direction, counterclockwise from east, of 5.8 degrees. What is the value of its x component to 1 decimal place? Its y component?
This problem seems easy enough but I keep getting the wrong answer using the law of sines. Is there another way to solve this or do I just need to be more careful?

What direction is x, East? and y, North?
the East component is 23cos5.8
the North cmponent is 23sin5.8
I have no idea why you are using the law of sines.
