Three vectors are shown in the figure below, along with an X-Y coordinate system. Define the vector R to be the vector sum of the following three vectors: 5A, 7B, and 5C. In equation form, R = 5A + 7B + 5C. (a) Find the magnitude of the vector R. (b) Find the direction of the vector. Specify the direction as an angle measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
