The total electric field  consists of the vector sum of two parts. One part has a magnitude of E1 = 1200 N/C and points at an angle θ1 = 35° above the +x axis. The other part has a magnitude of E2 = 1700 N/C and points at an angle θ2 = 55° above the +x axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the total field. Specify the directional angle relative to the +x axis.
