HNC Maths Vectors

I have the below question that im struggling with how i should be plotting my vector graph can anyone point me in the right direction please.

In a circuit under test a resistor, R, is connected in series with a capacitor, C. An a.c. current, 𝑖, flows through this RC combination, causing a voltage (𝑉𝑅) of 6V to be developed across the resistor, and a voltage (𝑉𝐶) of 8V to be developed across the capacitor.

Assuming that 𝑉𝑅 is in-phase with 𝑖, and 𝑉𝐶 lags 𝑉𝑅 by 90o, draw a vector diagram for this arrangement and then calculate the magnitude of the resultant voltage across the whole RC combination.

any help from anyone ive got the voltage answer but just want to make sure my vector graph is correct?
