The trigonometric form of complex numbers is often used by electrical engineers to describe the current I, voltage V, and impedance Z in electrical circuits with alternating current. Impedance is the opposition to the flow of current in a circuit. Most common electrical devices operate on 115-volt, alternating current. The relationship among these three quantities is
. The real part of I represents the actual current delivered to an electrical appliance in amps. Approximate this current when
and
, and express the answer in rectangular form to two decimal places.
