Let C = A + B. Vector C has a length of 5.00 cm and points north. Vector A has length 2.30 cm and a direction of 58.0 degrees north of east. (Let north = +y and east= +x).a) Draw a vector addition diagram showing C = A + B and label all 3 vectors. Use a straight edge and draw them to scale in cm if possible (you can estimate the angle).b) What is the magnitude of vector B? c) What is the angle of B in degrees west of north?
