Vector A has a magnitude A = 1 and makes an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the x- axis (in the first quadrant), vector B has a magnitude B = 2 and makes an angle of 60 degrees with respect to the x-axis (in the fourth quadrant); see figure below for details. What is the magnitude of the resultant vector C = A + B? What angle (acute) θ does the vector C make with the x-axis?

Vector A has a magnitude A = 1 and makes an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the x-
axis (in the first quadrant), vector B has a magnitude B = 2 and makes an angle of 60 degrees
with respect to the x-axis (in the fourth quadrant); see figure below for details. What is the
magnitude of the resultant vector C = A + B? What angle (acute) θ does the vector C make with
the x-axis?
