The direction of their vector sum is 92.51.How do you determine the vector addition's direction?Finding the angle that the resultant creates with either the north-south or the east-west vector will reveal the direction of the resultant. The resultant makes an angle with west at a value of theta.Thus, the length of the first vector G in a -35 degree direction is 40.3 m.Let's locate the elements of G.[tex]G_{x}[/tex] = 40.3 cos (-35) = 33.018[tex]G_{y}[/tex] = 40.3 sin(-35) = -23.1151The length of the second vector, H, is 63.3 m in the direction of 270.[tex]H_{x}[/tex] = 63.3 cos(270) = 0[tex]H_{y}[/tex] = 63.3 sin(270) = -63.3The corresponding components can be combined to find the resultant vector:[tex]R_{x} = G_{x}+H_{x}[/tex] = 33.018+0 = 33.018[tex]R_{y} = G_{y} +H_{y}[/tex] = -23.1151+(- 63.3) = -86.4151.To find the magnitude of ([tex]R_{x}, R_{y}[/tex])  which is given by the formula [tex]\sqrt{R^{2} _{x} +R^{2} _{y} }[/tex][tex]\sqrt{33.018+ (-86.4151)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{8557.34844}[/tex] = 92.51.To know more about vector addition's direction visit:https://brainly.com/question/12979718#SPJ4
