Solution
All of the statements are correct.
i. The angle of inclination of a vector can indeed be calculated by solving for the tangent of the ratio of the x-component of the vector and the y-component of the vector. This is a basic principle in trigonometry.
ii. For vectors in 3D space, the angle theta does describe the direction of the vector. This is a fundamental concept in vector calculus.
iii. The angle of inclination of a vector is sometimes with respect to the x-axis or y-axis. This is true as the angle of inclination is defined as the angle between the positive x-axis and the vector in the anticlockwise direction. However, it can also be defined with respect to the y-axis depending on the context.
