An old lady, to maintain her health during morning walk, covers three displacements. The first has a magnitude of 200 m and makes an angle of 110° with the positivex axis. She covers second displacement which has magnitude of 300 m at an angle of 20° west of south and then she covees third displacement. The resultant displacement has a magnitude of 420 m and is directed at an angle of 45.0° to the positive x axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the third displacement
