Ellie Mcclure · Answer 1

The correct answer is B

Aylin · Answer 2

B) 169.283 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the given answers, this is the only one that makes sense. A gives an option which is not what the question asks for. It asks for magnitude, not direction. C could not be the answer, as no function of the two forces would reasonably result in such a force. B is the only one which works in this situation.
