Answer:

Sum = <1,11>

Magnitude = 11.05

Direction = 84.81

Step-by-step explanation:

Given.

Let Vector A = <-5,2>

Vector B = <6,9>

Sum = A + B

Sum = <-5,2> + <6, 9>

Sum = <-5 + 6, 2 + 9>

Sum = <1,11>

where x = 1 and y = 11

Calculating the magnitude...

Magnitude = √(x² + y²)

Magnitude = √(1² + 11²)

Magnitude = √(1 + 121)

Magnitude = √122

Magnitude = 11.04536101718726

Magnitude = 11.05 --- Approximated

Calculating the vector direction

Direction of a vector is calculated by tan^-1 (y/x)

Direction = tan^-1(11/1)

= tan^-1(11)

= 84.80557109226519

= 84.81° ---- Approximated
