Given:

The vector A is 50 m 10 deg north of east.

The vector B is 100 m 80 deg south of west.

To find the x and y components of their sum vector A+B

Step-by-step explanation:

The vectors can be represented in diagram as shown below

The x-component can be calculated as


\begin{gathered} A_x+B_x=\text{ 50 cos \lparen10}^(\circ)\text{\rparen-100 cos\lparen80}^(\circ)\text{\rparen} \\ =\text{ 31.876 m} \end{gathered}

The y-component can be calculated as


\begin{gathered} A_y+B_y=50sin(10^(\circ))-100sin(80^(\circ)) \\ =-89.798 \end{gathered}

Thus, option A is correct.
