In order to calculate the x component of the displacement, we can use the following formula:
[tex]d_x=d\cdot\cos (\theta)[/tex]So, for d = 22.27 m and theta = 41.35°, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} d_x=22.27\cdot\cos (41.35\degree) \\ d_x=22.27\cdot0.7507 \\ d_x=16.72 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the x component is 16.72 meters.
