The given vectors form a right angled triangle. This means that we can apply Pythagorean theorem which states that: (hypotenuse)^2 = (side1)^2 + (side2)^2
We are given that: hypotenuse = 75 cm side1 = 21 cm side2 = x cm
Substitute with the gives in the equation to get the value of x as follows: (75)^2 = (21)^2 + (x)^2 x^2 = 5184 x = 72 cm
