Question: Vector A , vector B , and vector C are drawn to scale . The vector A is 5 . 3 meters long and

Vector A
, vector B
, and vector C
  are drawn to scale . The vector A
is 5.3 meters long and points 56
counterclockwise from the positive x
-axis. The vector B
is 4.0 meters long and points along the negative x
-axis. The vector C
is 2.8 meters long and points 53
clockwise from the negative x
-axis.
What are R
and \theta R
, the magnitude and direction angle for the resultant vector R=A+B+C
?
A horizontal x axis and a vertical y axis are shown. All vectors start at the origin. The orange vector A makes an angle theta sub A with the positive x axis. The red vector B is along the negative x axis. The blue vector C makes an angle theta sub C with the negative x axis.

Express your answer numerically in meters and degrees respectively as the ordered pair ( R,\theta R
) using three significant figures. Measure the angle \theta R
counterclockwise from the positive x
-axis.
