Answer:

195.168 m

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the magnitude of the vector you can use the Pythagorean Theorem since you have the height and base and the vector is really just the hypotenuse

Pythagorean Theorem:


a^2+b^2=c^2

Plug values in


88.4^2+174^2=c^2

Simplify


7814.56+30276=c^2

Add the two values


38090.56=c^2

Take the square root of both sides


195.168\approx195.168
