Can someone please help me or post solutions on how to answer this question.

Find the magnitude and direction if the two given vectors.

A displacement of magnitude 3.5km on a bearing 050 degrees and a displacement of magnitude 5.4km on a bearing of 128 degrees.
you could express each as 2 components... 3.5cos40°i + 3.5sin40°j

is how to write the first vector.

where i and j are unit vectors in the east and north directions.

the 40° is the angle between the east and the direction of the line.
