Do U think that giving directions in two different ways is maybe a wee bit inconsistent?
90° means 90° CCW from the + x-axis and "to the East" would normally mean 0° from + x-axis.so the two given vectors are at right angles to each other:
This means Resultant's size is found by hypotenuse rule of right triangles
ANS-1 = √[220²+75²] = R's size
The resultant's direction would be CCW from the + x-axis at Θ°
ANS-2 where Θ = arctan [220/75]
