Expert Solution
Step 1

Let the points in the diagram be referred as, Ax,5, B-6,y, Cx,y, Dx,-3, and O0,0.

Also let θ represents the angle made by the position vector with the positive x-axis.

Consider the formula,

  • x-coordinate=length of the line·cosθ
  • y-coordinate=length of the line·sinθ

POINT A:

The y-coordinate is 5,

OA·sin65°=5OA=5.517

Solve for x-coordinate as,

x=5.517·cos65°x=2.33

Thus, the coordinate of point A is 2.33,5.

Step 2

POINT B:

The x-coordinate is given as -6,

OB·cos152°=-6OB=6.795

Solve for the y-coordinate as,

y=6.795·sin152°y=3.19

Thus, the coordinate of point B is -6,3.19.
