Answer with Step-by -step explanation:

We are given that

b.[tex]\mid A\mid=46 m[/tex]

[tex]\theta=20^{\circ}[/tex] below the positive x-axis

Therefore, the angle made by vector A in counter clockwise direction when measure from positive x-axis=[tex]x=360-20=340^{\circ}[/tex]

x-component of vector A=[tex]A_x=\mid A\mid cosx=46cos 340=46\times 0.94=43.24[/tex]

y-Component of vector A=[tex]A_y=\mid A\mid sinx=46sin340=46(-0.34)=-15.64[/tex]

Magnitude of vector B=86 m

The vector B makes angle with positive x- axis=[tex]x'=42^{\circ}[/tex]

x-component of vector B=[tex]B_x=86cos42=63.64[/tex]

y-Component of vector B=[tex]B_y=86sin42=57.62[/tex]

Vector A=[tex]A_xi+A_yj=43.24i-15.64j[/tex]

Vector B=[tex]B_xi+B_yj=63.64i+57.62j[/tex]

Vector C=A+B

Substitute the values

[tex]C=43.24i-15.64j+63.64i+57.62j[/tex]

[tex]C=106.88i+41.98j[/tex]

c.Direction=[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{41.98}{106.88})=21.5^{\circ}[/tex]

The direction of the vector C=21.5 degree
