The X component of the vector is 11.5 while the Y component is 9.6.

What are the components of a vector?

We know that a vector must posses both magnitude and direction. Now the vector could be resolved into the vertical and the horizontal components of the mixture.

In resolving this vector;

X component = 15 cm cos 40 degrees = 11.5

Y component =  15 cm sin 40 degrees = 9.6

Thus the X component of the vector is 11.5 while the Y component is 9.6.
