Two position vectors each start at the origin. The first has a magnitude of 37.5 cm, and is at an angle of 15.0∘ as measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis. The second has a magnitude of 23.0 cm and an angle of 58.0∘, also counterclockwise from the +x-axis. (a) What is the area of the parallelogram (in cm2 ) that has the two vectors as two of its sides? cm2 (b) What is the length of the longer diagonal of this parallelogram (in cm )? cm
