    The correct answer is a

    Explanation:

    The cosine function is

    cos θ = ca / H

    done ca is the adjacent leg (x-axis) and H is the hypotenuse (vector module)

    we clear

    H = ca / cos θ

    therefore, to find the magnitude of the vector, the cathete is divided into the cosine.

    The correct answer is a
