Thread: physics displacement problem

have to add the following two displacement vectors,
the angles are measured from the x-axis with,
counterclockwise as the positive.

Displacement 1: is 3.0 m so 58 degrees
Displacement 2: is 4.3 m so 10 degrees

The total displacement vector has a
Magnitude, find it.
and also has a direction in degrees that needs to be found.

anyone who can help me with this please?

I did a four displacement addition in one of your other posts. The method is identical.
