In order to find the direction we can use the next formula


\tan (\theta)=(Cy)/(Cx)

we are looking for theta therefore we need to isolate it


\theta=\tan ^(-1)((Cy)/(Cx))=\tan ^(-1)((-88.2)/(-105))=40.03

then because both components are negative me need to add 180 in order to find the direction of the vector


\text{direction}=40.03+180=220.03\text{\degree}
