Question

How would I find the magnitude, and round it to nearest hundredth of a pound in this word problem?

The magnitude and direction of two forces acting on an object are 110 pounds, S74°E, and 120 pounds, N64°E,
respectively. Find the magnitude, to the nearest hundredth of a pound, and the direction angle, to the nearest tenth of a
degree, of the resultant force.
The magnitude is approximately pounds.
(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
