The way you find a vector's magnitude and direction is:


\begin{gathered} |r|=\sqrt[]{x^2+y^2} \\ \tan \theta=(y)/(x) \end{gathered}

So, the given data is x=3; y=2. Then the magnitude is:


\begin{gathered} |r|=\sqrt[]{3^2+2^2\text{ }} \\ |r|=\sqrt[]{9+4^{}\text{ }} \\ |r|=\sqrt[]{13\text{ }} \end{gathered}

And the direction :


\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=(2)/(3) \\ \theta=\tan ^(-1)((2)/(3)) \\ \theta=33.7\text{ degress} \end{gathered}

The answer is D.
