See explanation.

Work Step by Step

a. The magnitude is $\sqrt{A_x^2+ A_y^2}= 10.0$ cm. The angle is $tan^{-1}(\frac{A_y}{A_x})=149^{\circ}$. The vector is in the second quadrant. b. The magnitude is $\sqrt{A_x^2+ A_y^2}= 10.0$ m. The angle is $tan^{-1}(\frac{A_y}{A_x})=194^{\circ}$. The vector is in the third quadrant. c. The magnitude is $\sqrt{A_x^2+ A_y^2}= 8.21$ km. The angle is $tan^{-1}(\frac{A_y}{A_x})=-19.2^{\circ}$. The vector is in the fourth quadrant.
