makes a total angle of 42.0 deg + 90 deg = 132.0 deg with the positive x-axis and has magnitude 16.0 units. Then the component form of
is
![\vec A=A_x\,\vec\imath+A_y\,\vec\jmath=16.0\cos132.0^\circ\,\vec\imath+16.0\sin132.0^\circ\,\vec\jmath](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/physics/middle-school/189668a8wthww6mkgyku4hl257jrqimngo.png)
![\implies\vec A=-10.7\,\vec\imath+11.9\,\vec\jmath](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/physics/middle-school/od5d82k900fifo7b880bddk0l8xr2qagtx.png)
makes a total angle of 31.0 deg + 180 deg = 211.0 deg with the positive x-axis and has magnitude 7.00 units, so its component form is
![\vec B=7.00\cos211.0^\circ\,\vec\imath+7.00\sin211.0^\circ\,\vec\jmath](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/physics/middle-school/q4po69vcv92joq5wyds1ylo067zjxrvh4e.png)
![\implies\vec B=-6.00\,\vec\imath-3.61\,\vec\jmath](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/physics/middle-school/a3r5p8z1m79afcve2nzt99bn5sbyha5vc2.png)
Then
![\vec C=\vec B-\vec A=(-6.00-(-10.7))\,\vec\imath+(-3.61-11.9)\,\vec\jmath](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/physics/middle-school/bw9etf4f7zuowkqdup81ys58094zmfi5bj.png)
![\implies\vec C=4.7\,\vec\imath-15.5\,\vec\jmath](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/physics/middle-school/tb0cjtt1c7fini8qkpfszvy4x09u0zzgha.png)
The magnitude of
is
![|\vec C|=√(4.7^2+(-15.5)^2)=16.2](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/physics/middle-school/x5u4zyoth70b2mmnidgmun9vdeoarxucm0.png)
