A series circuit consists of an ac power supply, a resistor, a 150.0 mH inductor, and a capacitor. The rms current in the circuit is 1.50 A. The rms voltage in the resistor is 115.0 V, the rms voltage in the capacitor is 50.5 V, and the rms voltage in the inductor is 87.0 V.  Find the rms voltage of the entire circuit (draw a phasor diagram to help if needed). Then find the impendance of the circuit.

A series circuit consists of an ac power supply, a resistor, a 150.0 mH inductor, and a capacitor. The rms current in the circuit is 1.50 A. The rms voltage in the resistor is 115.0 V, the rms voltage in the capacitor is 50.5 V, and the rms voltage in the inductor is 87.0 V. 

Find the rms voltage of the entire circuit (draw a phasor diagram to help if needed). Then find the impendance of the circuit. 

Please also explain and show the steps you used to get there/the physics behind why/how you got to the answer to help me better understand. Thank you soo much. Also, the work and the explanation or most important because I already have the correct answer - I'm just unsure of how to get there.
