So standard position, as I understand, involves the origin being the angle used. In the photo, I got the correct answers, but for the wrong components (I got the x solution for y and the y solution for x.) I took the standard position to be the point of intersection of the green and arrows. Following that, I used cosine to find the a/h and multiplied the hypotenuse to find the adjacent. Taking that value, I had the y as the adjacent, but that was wrong. Do I misunderstand what standard form is?
