A boat radioed a distress call to a Coast Guard station. At the time of the call, a vector A from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. A vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is B = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. What are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to the point where the boat was found? In other words, what are the components of vector C = B - A? x component y component O O 17.3 km, east 40.6 km, east 17.3 km, west 40.6 km, east 35.7 km, west 35.7 km, south 35.7 km, north 51.2 km, south 51.2 km, south 17.4 km, north
