How do I solve this problem. A car travels 11.5km due north andthen 35.2 km in a direction of 44 degrees west of north. Find themagnitude of the car's resultant displacement. Answer in units ofkm. Then calculate the direction of the car's resultantdisplacement, measured counterclockwise from the northerlydirection. Answer in units of degree.

I used the pythagorean theorem.
35.2 squared + 11.5 squared = 1371.29
square root of answer is 37.03093302 km, 40 degree
What am I doing wrong?

The horizontal surface on which the objects slide isfrictionless. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. If F(l) =26 N and F(r) = 3N, find the direction of the resultant force (inrelation to forward, with counterclockwise considered positive).Answer in degrees from the positive x-axis, with counter-clockwisepositive, within the limits of -180 degrees to 180 degrees. Answerin units of degrees.

Picture: thee blocks. F(l) with an arrow pointing toward the 1kg block, then the 1 kg block , then the 9 kg block, and then the 4kg block, and then an arrow of F(r) pointing towards the 4 kgblock.

In this problem, you will add the three vectors together to get a resultant vector. A student is out walking in New York. She walks 1.00 m to the North then she turns West and walks 11.3 m. Lastly she decides to be adventurous and walk 8.80 m at 48.0 degree South of East. (Use East as positive x and North as positive y)What are the x and y components of vector A her first displacement?What are the x and y components of vector B, her next displacement?What are the x and y components of vector C, her last displacement?What are the x and y components of the resultant vector, her total displacement?What is the magnitude of the resultant vector?What is the angle of the resultant vector with respect to the positive x axis?
