    You can just use basic trigonometry to solve for the x & y components.

    vector a = 10cos (30) i + 10sin (30) j =

    vector b is only slightly harder because the angle is relative to vector a, and not the positive x-axis. Anyway, this just makes vector b with an angle of 135deg to the positive x-axis.

    vector b = 10cos (135) i + 10sin (135) j =

    So now we can do the questions:

    r = a + b

    r =

    (a) 5sqrt (3) - 5sqrt (2)

    (b) 5+5sqrt (2)

    (c)

    |r| = sqrt ((5sqrt (3) - 5sqrt (2)) 2 + (5+5sqrt (2)) 2)

    = 12.175

    (d)

    θ = tan-1 ((5+5sqrt (2)) / (5sqrt (3) - 5sqrt (2)))

    θ = 82.5deg
