Answer:

11.79 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Break into horiz and vert components then add them....then use Pythag theorem for magnitude

(B is at angle 250° )

Horiz : 7.7 cos 27.8 + 16.3 cos 250 = 1.236 m

Vert : 7.7 sin 27.8 + 16.3 sin 250 = -11.73

Mag^2 = 1.236^2 + (-11.73)^2

Magnitude = 11.79 m

Direction = arctan ( -11.73/1.236) = - 84° ( = 276°)
