Given: Step 1(Combine like term)

1.0î – 5.0ĵ  1.0î + 9.0î + (-6.0î) + 12.0î

9.0î = 16î
11.0ĵ -5.0ĵ + 11.0ĵ + 4.0ĵ + 18.0 ĵ
- 6.0î + 4.0ĵ = 28ĵ – ( -7.0ĵ) (Why minus?
12.0 î + 18.0ĵ because it is dropping)

-7.0ĵ = 35ĵ
Step 2 (Square root the two hats)

√ 162 +352
= 38.48
Step 3 (Get the degree)

−1 35
Θ tan = 65.43 °
16
Final Answer:
38.48 yards (how far it is)
65.43 ° (direction is northeast)
