    The resultant vector is 11√2 km due north east.

    Explanation:

    The vector is a type of quantity which has both magnitude and direction. This quantities when expressed needs to specify both magnitude and direction.

    We need to calculate the magnitude and direction separately.

    Here firstly for the magnitude,

    The magnitudes are both 11 km and they are at right angles to each other.

    So, the resultant magnitude = √ (11² + 11²) km

    =11√2 km

    Now for the direction, one vector is due north and the other is due east.

    So the resultant vector is due north east.

    So the final vector is 11√2 km due North-East.
