 Consider a map oriented so that the x axis runs east–west (with east being the “positive” direction) and y runs north–south (with north “positive”).

A person drives 15 km to the west and then turns and drives 45 km to the south. Find the magnitude and direction of the total movement of the driver. Express the direction as an angle measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis.
