    Q=VxI Sin ɸ

    Polar coordinates(r,θ) -----------------> Rectangular Coordinates ( r Sin θ, r Cos θ)
    θ=10º ( 45 Sin 10º, 45 Cos 10º ) ===> ( 7.814167995, 44.31634889 )
    r=45 ( x , y ) ===> ( x , y )
    Tan θ = y/x
    θ= Tan^-1 (y/x) = Tan ^-1 (44.31634889 / 7.814167995) = 80º

    plug in all values

    Q = 120 x 10 x Sin 80º = 1181.769304 VAR.

    Even though none of the answers match i think this is the right answer.!!

    The number you calculated is KVA not KVAR. Use the pyragorean theorem. Kva^2 = kw^2 + kvar^2. The mag*sine (theta) ×amps is the kvar = reactive power and not the apparent power in which you calculated. ( Those who read this, look up the power triangle and decide for yourselves)

    Thanks rsimmons!! I realized it after I posted that I solved for the wrong power.
