NEED HELP ASAP

A rectangle is labeled truck. A vector that goes down and to the right is labeled 7,500 pounds and the terminal point is labeled tow truck 2. A vector that goes up and to the right is labeled 10,000 pounds and the terminal point is labeled tow truck 1. The angle between the vectors is 110 degrees. The angle between tow truck 2 and the x-axis is 60 degrees.

A pair of tow trucks are pulling on a trailer that is stuck in mud. The first truck pulls with a force of 10,000 pounds at a 110° angle from the second truck, which is pulling with a force of 7,500 pounds. What is the magnitude of the resultant force?

9,821 pounds
10,244 pounds
14,405 pounds
24,226 pounds
